"In our family portrait, we look pretty happy, Let's play pretend, Let's act like it comes naturally"
So go the lyrics of the song "Family Portrait" by Pink…
She could well be singing about the Portrait you can see here, next to the bear…
As here we can see O'neil has a family who was happy, before O'neil got his current assignment (as he is not in uniform here) and when he was a bit younger (no beard or moustache though thats rather harder to see)
Here is an example of the overwhelming amount of shadow being used to actually tell the story or set the mood for the story, as O'neil's whole apartment is in almost total darkness and this is one of the few bits of light both in the apartment and in o'neil's life…
But what has happened since and where are the family now?
Next page will bring the answers…
Cool observation about light and shadow actually telling a story!
