Devotion Lydia Host daily painting a day 8x16

I am always intrigued by the mother- child relationship. It is such the ultimate. This painting is based on an old sculpture...they were my models. I have the utmost respect for every mother everywhere, its such a hard and self sacrificing job, while conversely being the most enriching rewarding occupation ever. Even the 'bad' mothers out there didn't mean to be 'bad'...that's just the power of the job. I really believe that everyone is just doing the best that they are able. L.
