Finding Connection

Description

“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results. “ – Herman Melville

This painting shows my motherly bond with my son, my endless love for him. Being a mom is a challenge, a mission of life, however sometimes torment and a nightmares. It is a source of great satisfaction but often anxiety and fear. Most often, however, it is a joy incomparable to anything else.
It is my second richly textured painting when I used mix media. A combination of intense shades that clearly reflect against the dark background. Once again, it is a painting for which just looking at it is not enough. You want to touch it, feel it under your fingers.
