| watercolor on paper 8 x10 |
Happy Mother's Day everyone:) There is nothing like a mother's love, so last week when I saw that the DPW challenge was to paint a self portrait, I jumped at the chance. The picture that jumped into my mind is a photo my husband took of myself and my oldest son, when he was about 2. Brian captured the perfect picture in my opinion and I knew I would paint it some day. Yes, this is a watercolor. I love to paint portraits in black and white because I happen to enjoy black and white portraits. Most photos and portraits I have in my home are in black and white and this one will join the others. I'm titling this one "A Mother's Love". I just love my son's face, he is just so beautiful, sorry handsome (he gets mad when I call him beautiful). His face is just so full of hope and wonder and love. I could look at his little face all day. And I think every mother wants the world for their children and I feel that this emotion comes through in this piece.
See you next week and Happy Mother's Day:)
Carrie

ReplyDeleteBeautiful one, Carrie. Happy Mother's Day to you too.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Carrie. A touching tribute to the hardest and best job in the world. You can really feel your love in this. Wonderful, emotive work! :):):) Oh, and Happy Mother's Day!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carrie! Happy Mother's Day. Mine has been perfect: our eldest came son home after spending 10 weeks in the US!
ReplyDeleteHas plasmado muy bien el instante, y ademas le has puesto una gran dosis de ternura y amor a la misma. Me parece muy hermosa y vibrante tu trabajo. Un saludo.
ReplyDeleteJust so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love black and white photos, drawings and paintings too. Do you mix your own black or do you use a particular brand of paint?
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This is just exquisite!!! It's absolutely stunning! And that expression on babys face is just heart melting :0)
ReplyDeletewow...extra wow!!
ReplyDeleteCarrie this is stunning! A fine piece of art and an heirloom for your family. I just love it.... You are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Carrie. You did a great job on this. I love black and white photos, too. I think they are so much more interesting than color photos.
ReplyDeleteAmazing portrait Carrie! When my son was that age I mostly had black and white pictures of him. Such great memories. It never occurred to me to paint B&W portraits in watercolors. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Irina
This picture is very beautiful and tender. I see the bond between mother and child. Your picture is realistic and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking painting. Both of you are so full of wonder, so loving. Just stunning Carrie!! And a lovely Mother's Day post!
ReplyDeleteOh, Carrie! I love this one. Do you remember what Steven ws looking at? It is such a sweet expression on his face. I think I would be terrified to do a self portrait (not that I could anyway)....but you nailed it 100%. Looks just like you two! Glad it's one that will make your wall :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carrie!!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!
