Exhaustion

A typical day for a mother with a baby is overwhelming.  She’s constantly involved with that child–maybe it won’t let her put it down.  Anything else in her life is secondary.  The baby needs to be fed, changed, bathed and comforted.  Most of all, loved.  Even though the mom is physically and mentally worn out at the end of the day, she absolutely loves that little child.

I’ve done hundreds of paintings, but I’ve felt more emotion with this one than any other.  It’s my favorite.
