Description
This is a picture of a mother and child entitled Mother and Child. This work appeared in the Period Gallery's juried Colour III exhibit.
Materials:
very traditional - oil on canvas,
Process:
the canvas is hand stretched and primed with gesso in a very traditional fashion. I always use brushes or the ends of brushes.
information about the subject and why chosen:
This is a piece that simply screamed to be painted. The mother is clutching her newborn tightly guarding him with due vigilance. Inspired primary by my own fears and protectiveness of having a new child. How precious and delicate the newborn seemed and worth more than gold.
