Title: Mother and child

Size: 7.5" x 9.5" x 2" deep

Media: Mixed - watercolor and acrylic on canvas wrapped cigar box.

Second of my "windows" series.

"Romance fails us and so do friendships but the relationship of Mother and Child remains indelible and indestructible - the strongest bond upon this earth.
- Theodor Reik

The story -
Maria loves being a Mom to five year old Megan. Even without a Dad to help her raise this child she would not change a thing in her life.

I used lots of bright gouache watercolors and acrylic paints, some textured and some metalic on watercolor paper. I then fixed it to a canvas wrapped cigar box.
The backside is collaged with vintage book pages and the verse above by Theodor Reik is also on the backside (you may not be able to read it in the picture).
I love to find ways of using recycled items in my art, like the cigar boxes. The vintage book pages are from books that I've bought at thrift stores.

I am so happy with the way it came out, it's bigger than any of the others I have done, 11"x14" canvas board. I'm not gonna sell her, my Aunt always says to keep your "first" of every new art you do. She sits on top of my shelf where I dry my new paintings, and it's kinda wierd, but I cannot keep from looking at her, she has taken on such a personality. The Red and Black Queen is beautiful, but so strong she holds her head so royaly. My kids asked if I am gonna paint her "King" next, but I don't think she has one...or needs one.
