Fascinating interpretation, Tom, and thanks for sharing your personal associations. I didn't think of the young figure in that role of inviting him to come out from behind the glass, but it fits very well. I like its positive message.
I can't tell you how interesting it has been to read your reaction (and others' reactions) to this painting. When I was planning it and painting it, I tried not to over-think it; I just knew it should be a certain way, and things started to fall into place. There were so many things in my mind but I didn't want to intellectualize, just express them through the paint.
