"Life and Death are two locked caskets, each of which contains the key to the other."

• Isak Dinesen, Winter's Tales

This lovely painting has been over a year coming now and was well worth the wait, as the talented duo http://www.furaffinity.net/user/simul have clearly put every amount of love and care into crafting a beautiful result I'll treasure for long into the future (a print version will soon hang in my home). Please check out Simul's FA and website to consider supporting their artistic endeavours in the future.

The quote inspiring this painting is taken from a tale in the collection Winter's Tales, by my favourite author Isak Dinesen. I would highly recommend her works to anyone who enjoys quality literature.
