Anne Marie Keaveney writing in “The Hunter Gatherer”
refers to this work :-
This painting evokes the essence of Hallowe’en when the souls of
the dead are said to return to earth. The painting has a cast of
characters waiting in suspense, as if anticipating some momen-
tous happening. The subdued colour and the nacreous quality of
the paint, serve to heighten the sensation.
