You were probably expecting something a little more...cheery..? However, I think you'll agree that although it seems quite morbid at first the idea of hope in this painting grows on you.

I searched long and hard for a painting and finally rested on this one because it's honestly quite hard to find one. The search was very fun though, lol.
