"Mother-To-Be"


"Mother-To-Be" - Oil - 11" x 14" - SOLD

"I paint from a model on a regular basis and, for this session, I had a pregnant model. Her relaxed pose and great lighting made a wonderful subject. I purposefully set her against a dark background and pillows to play up her pale skin." --- SFG

This is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful subject, composition, color and brushwork.

Susan,
The old world feel of this painting is compelling. Her expression is charming and the subtle hints of violet and pale green in her skin really work. Nice painting! (I like your landscapes, too.)
