Original artwork description:

Valediction: to say farewell. To say farewell to material things; to people; to the past.
Here a woman holds herself - holds herself back from self-pity and sorrow, just allowing the feeling of resignation as the unstoppable force of fire take hold of her barn. A man - perhaps a farm worker - strides close to the fire, impotently raging at the loss.
Based on a scene from Tarkovsky's mesmerising 'Sacrifice', it sums up some of life's hopelessness.

This painting will be framed with a simple black wooden moulding.
