Thanks Rachel

One of these days I would like to explore some themes that I have already done in the past, and that includes "Death and the Maiden". At present, there are still so many new ideas and visions to bring to life, that I have yet to return to my old subjects

I have always rendered the image of death that is both frightening (as being the unknown and the fear of being finite) and very beautiful (as a herald to a new life and the end of present suffering). We tend to fear death, when in truth we fear what we have not yet achieved in life. Those who accept death, without being suicidal, understand what living is all about. And that includes a sense of purpose, matched with a humble value of self.

This in one of my bigger works . . . and putting all that detail was a test of time management

Thanks

This is another one of my works which I have had the inspiration / vision long before (a year to be exact), but could come to grips on how to actualize the image . . . I just couldn't stand drawing the typical Grim Reaper, which never resonated to me as a personification of death

I wouldn't imagine the reaper would be a creepy hooded skeleton man either.

Thank you Zel

After finishing this piece, I scanned and then uploaded it . . . forgetting how much detail I did put in this work, even forgetting that I did put a lamp in it the floral style I use is called 'ukkil' among the Tausug people in the Philippines

Thank you my friend

I had already had conceived to do the work "Death and the Maiden" since last year, but I could come to draw the typical Grim Reaper . . . the image of that as Death didn't resonate to me

I am glad you like this final outcome
