"This piece was the result of a dream I experienced, while my wife Inga and I were in London during our 10th Anniversary. I found my self attending a ballroom dance. The personification of Death engages me in a Waltz. The music is beautiful, the dance is joyous. Life seems joyous...and here I am with Death's arms wrapped around me. A reminder of Life's transitoriness? I suddenly awoke, grabbed my sketch book and drew this image. Inga and I are still avid ballroom dancers."
