"I. Am. Mommy"
9 x 12 Watercolor paper
Happy PPF!
If you saw the Mother / Daughter sketches in my last post, then you may recognize this one: I'm happy to report that "I. Am. Mother" is finally complete:
I have to say, I didn't expect it to come out like this - the blue foil bird and tiny houses in the corner were a last minute addition - but I enjoyed going with my gut and seeing what came of it. The color scheme was inspired by a gorgeous photo I saw on Pinterest (just joined, wicked fun!) that had these bold blues and yellows I couldn't wait to play with. In the end, I hope it captures what I was hoping for: a colorful, whimsical take on a Mother's love and devotion. . .
Blue foil bird with Swarovski crystal eye

Thank you for your time. Do check out all talent at The Party for a lot of fun, art and inspiration . . .

I'm very late visiting but it was worth it. Your painting is beautiful!!
Your gut instinct was right! You created great color and composition. I like the houses(where mothers live) and the bird. Mothers support their young until they are ready to fly. I like the way your title goes up her neck.
