Recurring Themes 2 Requiem

oh- Requiem...
a couple of years ago an old friend introduced me to Motzart's "Requiem" and then took me to a live performance of it.
I fell madly in love. Really madly in love.

In the first "Requiem", I became utterly obsessed both with the piece of music and the painting it's self...

To this day, if any part of that requiem is played, I can usually hum and sometimes  sing along in Latin to the next verses.

Recently I took the guilty pleasure of naming a piece "Requiem No 2". 
I heard the piece somewhere and my love affair was reignited as I tore through layers of this mixed media piece with my power sander.

I am sure Requiem will continue to haunt me and my work. I am very much okay with that.
