I was listening to one of my faves - 'Think of me' from Phantom of the Opera - when I sketched out this piece. I guess the beautiful flow of the music inspired this flowy hairstyle as she dreams about her love. I painted this during my last relationship, during which, physical and sometimes emotional distance were a massive hindrance and I often willed him to think of me as I thought of him.

To get the full shine and warmth of the gold leaf, it is best to display the painting in yellow/warm light but not in direct sunlight or high humidity. Gold leaf is highly reflective and will reflect the colours in the room.
