A cold morning at Fisherman's Wharf. Waiting is hard for little ones. This mother had such as sense of peace, you'd never know she had a preschooler running all over. Her little toddler had the most forlorn expression on her face. (HARD to capture in paint!) I love how she's all snuggled in. This painting took a while. I enjoyed the slightly larger canvas, the cool tones and clear division of light and shadow. I painted the little girl's face several times, then decided I'd done the best I could, time to move on.
Touching piece that every mother can relate to!
ReplyDeleteOh! so cute.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite subjects to paint are parents/grandparents with their little ones. This is lovely. The expressions and spot on and the little girl looks snuggled in perfectly. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a universal theme...and could be in any country in the world.. Wonderfully done.
