HOPE (1997) by Michael Whelan

Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 13” x 10”

I feel now that they are reflections upon the transient nature of reality and the fragility of life. Ideal figures carved from stone, even they are subject to age, accident, and injury… yet the worn stone will eventually weather into soil and become reborn as plants, trees, life. So there is resurrection of a sort, even for angels of stone.
