Fierce is a Mother
Osprey mothers take parenting seriously. They do most of the incubation and take care of the hatchlings for weeks after. They are known to be territorial and show aggressive defence for their nests. They are fierce, yet loving. The award for Best Mother goes to Ospreys!
So for Mother's Day 2024, I decided to paint them and in turn give an ode to my mother and celebrate my own newfound motherhood.
This is an original mixed media painting on light blue colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 8" x10" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 9"x11". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time.
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has a double coat of espresso water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws.
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
