As the referendum known as Brexit played out in the United Kingdom, many months turned into years. It felt as if it would never end. This painting was created at the time of the final public vote, a vote that determined whether the UK would leave the European Union, relinquishing its right to free-flowing trade between it and member countries. The eyes of a curious world were looking and waiting to see what would happen, whether chaos or legendary British propriety would rule the day. Finally the Ayes decided. Decorum won, and the curiosity is over.
