Memento Mori

Description

After a busy year of moving, working, and college, I finally had enough free time to finish my "Memento Mori" painting. I started this piece last year, working on it on and off during the weekends. However, I couldn't bring it with me when I moved last August, so it has been waiting patiently (nine months) at my parent's house for my return. It's one of the bigger, more detailed acrylic paintings I've done, and I'm very happy that it is finally finished.

*This painting is for sale ($1200). For more information, email me at corolyn.raye@gmail.com or check out my website:: www.corolynholubart.com

From Wikipedia:
Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you will die." It names a genre of artistic work which varies widely, but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their own mortality. The phrase has a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity.
