About this painting

A small and delicate painting related to Money Just Running Out.

I felt ill with anxiety on the day I painted this and grasped for something better, for peace and warmth, the sun and the future, of all things the future. I named the painting Hope after the butterfly in an earlier painting, Penalties, which represented hope because of Pandora's box; the evils of the world escaping and looking moth-like, with hope remaining inside.
