Pearl Divers
My monotype print,“The Pearl Divers", is currently on exhibit at JGO Gallery, on Bainbridge Island. My mother in-law was an opera fan. Not long after she moved to the Northwest, Seattle Opera performed The Pearl Fishers, ( Les Pecheurs de Perles), by Bizet and she declared "You will love it" and "We must attended this performance!" At the time I was living through hellish back pain. Perhaps the pain is what made it memorable (I stood in the back of McCall Hall for most of the performance), but its' beautiful friendship aria, sung by the central characters Zurga and Nadir, have been with me ever since. Thank you Doris for insisting on the experience!
