Description
This is a print of an original pencil drawing, "Memento Mori." Here is the second new piece for my show in May, a colored pencil drawing done in sampler style. It's a memento mori, a mourning piece in remembrance of a canine companion that has departed. Memento mori samplers were common, as you probably know, during the time when embroidery was a regular activity. While this is drawn rather than stitched it's visually similar to old mourning pieces with the monument to the departed beneath the weeping willow, the floral motifs, the neighboring homes & animals feeling the loss, & the black border. Having lost a couple of wonderful dogs myself I swung from aching sadness to amused reminiscence while I drew, part of the reason for doing work like this I suppose. The image will be centered on heavy weight archival paper with a white border around the art, printed with pigment based inks that capture the colors & details of the original painting. To keep your print in great condition it is important to frame with archival materials (mattes, backing board etc), keep out of direct sunlight, & frame with a UV glass. Carefully shipped USPS First Class in a clear cello sleeve with a backing board in a rigid mailer. Thanks for looking!
