Hello,
I’m really interested in why you chose to paint animal bones? What do they represent to you? Most themes involving bones is death or morbid, but the use of colors seems to convey the opposite. Thank you for your time.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my work and commenting. Many people do see bones as a symbol of death. I look at them as a part of the cycle of life. They are the skeleton on which our bodies are built. I often look at the structural parts of things, the roots of trees, the bones of the body. These parts bear the birth of what is built around them. So why many see death I see life!
