Love Remains

This painting explores the final stage in the cycle of life. A young woman kneels beside a skeleton that has been reclaimed by nature, reaching out towards her loved one, with a tear trailing down her cheek. She wrestles with the ache of letting go. Death, even though painful, is essential to the flow of the world and inevitable.

Reflective Question: do you take full advantage of your limited time with your loved ones?
