Oh wow! Such fascinating responses, and well-deserved: it is a fascinating painting. I think that allegorical paintings often come a little too close to kitsch for my comfort, but yours strays nowhere near that dread realm.
You asked for people's impressions. To me the painting which seems to be all about duality, similarly conveys many complex and contradictory feelings: loss, acceptance, regret,satisfaction, brashness, caution ,freedom, constraint. Perhaps even feelings of pain on aging, yet at the same time that pain is caused by the intense joy of living.
Congratulations on your tour de force!
