Created in the middle of a dreary Pacific Northwest winter, Hope Eternal is a subjugation of classic memento-mori symbolism. Instead of a sobering reminder of the fleetingness of life and its nearing end, the daffodil sprouting up from the skull here instead nudges us to look for the good slowly taking root, sending up shoots, and preparing to flourish from the dark, introspective, or painful places in our lives. 
 
Hope Eternal is a limited edition print, hand-printed on recycled-cotton watercolor paper with water-based ink, and framed in a solid wood designer frame with archival mat and shatter-proof acrylic glazing. Exterior of frame measures 13" x 14 3/4"
