When They’ve All Gone by Bernadette Doolan
The painting “When they’re all gone” creates a scene of a woman in the latter stages of life, alone and vulnerable. The artist reflects on a life lived causing the viewer to contemplate about who this lady shared her life with, have they all passed away, where have they gone, have they just moved away or have they left this earth? But for this woman life must go on no matter how tired, alone or weak she may feel.
