Madonna and Child


Have I shown you this painting before? 

This is a 5.8" x 8.3" mixed media painting I made last year for a charity art auction organized by the Kidney Friends Foundation to benefit families of kidney patients.  This is one of the few original paintings I have sold.  I was surprised and delighted when someone actually wanted to buy my painting!

I made this using my favorite technique of watercolor and colored pencils on a gessoed background (tutorial here).

Have a lovely Sunday!

    Definitely one of the sweetest renderings of Our Lady and Her Son that I've ever seen in my 60 years on this earth :)
