Monomad: Cemetery Cherub Statue

I really appreciate the level of detail on the statues that I find in cemeteries. There is something about these somber figures that draws me in, their weathered faces telling a story of their stoic existence watching over the dead. I find monochrome really works well to catch the shadows and mood that I am looking for in these. The darkness that seems to mix with a sense of light and hope that even when we depart it will all be ok.
