Heavenly Mother

Heavenly Mother

A white woman with blue eyes and brown, shoulder-length hair is painted in front of a pink background. She is wearing small gold ball earrings and a pale pink v-neck.

I woke up with this image in my head on Mother’s Day. I had a very clear picture in my head that I tried to paint. I did this for a single mom friend as a Mother’s Day gift to show her what her eternal spirit really looks like. That was my original intent but the longer I worked on it, the more I realize that heavenly mother was materializing before my eyes as I painted it.
