This piece shows Ophelia right after her father has died. The three empty doorways represent the three men in her life that are now gone: Hamlet, Laertes, and Polonius. I really wanted to drive home the point that she's ALONE.
This painting gave me a lot of technical problems. There are lots of layers that needed to be blended together, which is never an easy task. It's just hard to go back in to a blended area and try to re-blend with more paint.
Watercolor on cold press paper.
