A Mother's Love, oil on canvas, 22x28
A few months ago, I took a picture of my grandmother holding my sweet little baby, and it was just the most captivating picture. My grandmother loves babies, and my little love has really taken to her as well. My grandmother and my mom will come over on occasion and play with her so I can paint, and they just laugh and laugh in the next room over. I tell you what, there are few things more delightful than multiple generations of laughter in one room together.
I decided to try my hand at painting the picture I had taken of the two of them, and found that my grandmother is just too youthful looking, ha! She ended up looking more like a mom than a grandma, and so I added some longer hair on her and have since titled it "A Mother's Love." Maybe one day I'll take another shot at making my grandma, although I'm sure she probably prefers her to be painted sans laugh lines!
Hope you enjoy the piece and have a GREAT week ahead!

I remember the day you took the picture. Grandma was sitting at the dining room table holding Maria in her arms. They were in their own little world. They didn't even notice you taking the picture. So precious! Beautiful memory for daughter and granddaughter watching great-grandma holding great-granddaughter!!
:) Thanks for leaving this comment!!!!! Such a wonderful memory!
