Transience and resilience

I admire, and am inspired by many of the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. She used to come across many animal skulls in the arid and drought stricken environment of New Mexico where she spent her later years, and she incorporated them into a number of her paintings. Far from being macabre she viewed these lasting remains as a sign of strength and lasting endurance.
