Themes for paintings: Orpheus and Eurydice

Orfeus' last glimpse of Eurydice.

Orfeus' last glimpse of Eurydice. (24x19 cm, charcoal)

Orpheus has brought Eurydice back from death with his singing and lute-playing. Doubting that Eurydice is still following, he looks back and she sinks back to the underworld forever.

This theme is one of a group I am painting in oil, to be exhibited in summer 2010.
