Another piece in the Birth Art Series

 

Here is another piece I did for my Birth Art series.  This is the 2nd interpretation of this idea. The first one, click here, was the watercolor on yupo paper that had the large blooming flower. 
    This one is a mixed media artwork on canvas where I combined acrylic paint, pastel, fabric, and a twine/yarn material.  I used a photo taken while I was in labor for this piece.  Titles are always difficult for me but I decided to call this one Bringing a Blessing.  I played around with swirling the white paint in the figure area mixing it with heavy body gel medium to retain the brushstrokes a bit.  I really only have a couple of more pieces done to show.   One was very large and way out of my comfort zone..  not really sure why I chose such a large canvas for it!  I'll share that one at a later date.
