For the theme of Our Common Ground, I chose to explore the one universal experience that binds all living things: the cycle of return. In this painting I wanted to show there is no loss of dignity in decay. The \"inevitable\" is not a tragedy, but a shared grace. We all arrive here. Beauty, life and decay are shared.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Invitational","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47939536322711,"sku":null,"price":1575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0412\/1857\/2439\/files\/Sweeden-TheInevitable.jpg?v=1781998497","url":"https:\/\/shop.fsram.org\/products\/the-inevitable-pat-sweeden","provider":"Fort Smith Regional Art Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
