Honoring Motherhood (in my own little way)

Completed another painting today. I call this one "Modern Madonna".

I am happy with this one. It honors the institution of "Motherhood". We all know how a mother's love can be seen in the simplest of places. This mom is probably not rich, but her baby is clean, fat, and his hair is neatly trimmed. I've shown her carrying her baby up a hill. (mothers will be able to relate to this metaphor!)

I also wanted to show the softness of the mom and baby against the sharp coldness of the world.

If you live near Marietta Georgia, please come by Marietta Square on Friday September 4 from 6pm - 9pm for the "First Friday Art Walk". You will be able to see this as well as my other work and see samples of my furniture and wall designs.
