Re: Cemetery Statue

LOVE those! Especially the first one. Those clouds work prefectly with the texture of the statue - she looks like she is on her way to heaven!

I hadn't given it any thought (what gravestones mean) till you said that so I looked it up. My God - there's meanings for every plant, animal, symbol, pose and object imaginable . I think praying hands might have something to do with asking for eternal life.
