As suspected, I took my time with this painting, but less in procrastination and more in affection for the subjects. These stunning creatures are very dear to me. There were days that I added only a stroke. It was a very meditative process. And the painting is very simple, which I feel symbolizes the purity of the relationship between a mother and her new born child; within the chaos of midnight feedings and constant diaper changes comes a moment such as is captured in this painting, a moment of pure peace and bliss.
I now begin the journey of beginning my new series of portraits. More on that, soon to come....
