But then again the painting has warmth about it, so I think she is on a journey and has stopped to rest and the egg she is holding tenderly holds all her memories, regrets and experiences. Maybe the taxi driver is a metaphor for the future and the unknown?

Hang on I could get carried away here and start analysing and thinking deep thoughts. She is rather sweet though.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to know if your sinister taxi driver will pop up in your work at some future date.
