"Mama"



Mama
6" x 6"
Oil on Canvas Panel

I have been meaning to paint my mother for a long time, and I figure with Mothers Day just a few days away, it's the perfect time to do it. I dragged her outside Sunday afternoon and took a picture of her...as reluctant as she was to be painted, haha. I love how the light turned out in this painting. As usual, I can't get the picture to do the painting justice, I need a professional! Anyway, this one I call "Mama." Happy Mothers Day.

    I must say the 6x6 format really seems to work for you. I am loving these portraits!
