Description

Because we're all beautiful on the inside too.

8x10 acrylic on canvas. Used some internet reference for the skull since I don't have any around that aren't in use by the living.

...Hm, that made me sound kind of creepy...

That is a mighty pretty skull you have there, ma'am. And because I am an uncultured swine, I had to look up memento mori. A very morbid type of art. I can never really make the emotional connection with the idea of death and a naked skull. Skulls just look too happy, always smiling no matter what. Maybe the skull knows it had a good life, or maybe it is saying goodbye to a horrible one.
