"Vanitas Still Life" a modern take on the vanitas meme. I always wondered why anyone in the 17th and 18th centuries needed reminding of death amid wars, floods, famine and plague, and no antibiotics. But then again, is today any different? I learned that a cousin that I had recently connected with through art had passed away while I was working on this painting, and I really wish that we had more time, or just had made better use of it.
