"Alas, Poor Yorick" 10"x13", watercolor, 2013
Starting on a light note today......
Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you will die".[2] It refers to a genre of artworks that vary widely but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their mortality, an artistic theme dating back to antiquity.
-Wikipedia
I have been intrigued with the theme for quite some time. Here are a few more pieces from over the years:

| "Hades and Persephone" 36"x48", oil on canvas, 2010 |
 |
| "Death and the Maiden", charcoal, 20"x32", 2009 |
