The Primary connect

Acrylic on canvas (22" X 30")

Mother and child is a subject that has been explored by artists universally and since the beginning of any form of expression. As an artist i too have been drawn to this subject as it represents the epitome of unconditional  love, security, tenderness, caring, good upbringing, protection and emotion. I have painted this primary relationship in many ways and this painting is a classic example of one of them, a mother and child at their threshold with her arm draped around providing care,comfort and guidance to bring out the best human in her child. Being a mother myself of two I have these thoughts in mind while I stroke the brush keeping the softness yet straying away from making it illustrative.
