Newborn Mother II Drawing

From november 2020 till now, march 2021, I was watching very closely the becoming of a newborn mother: my daughter. The girl that becomes a woman and a mother. The physical process aswell as the mental process. You can read about everything but when it happens to you it is all new and you feel quite helpless in the beginning. Nobody told yo uit would be like this. The pain and the happiness, the helplessnes and the power you feel inside. In the series of drawings I made, and still are making, I try to catch all those things that are so unique fort he woman that becomes a mother for the first time. In this drawing I tryed to catch all those things. The young mother is isolated from what happens in the rest of the world. Living in that pink cloud. It is her and her baby that counts. I show her colored world and behind her the world is symbolised in grey and black movements of reed. It moves by the ever changing wind. I started with first painting the background with gesso and inkc. The big movements of waving reed. then started the drawing. The birds bring their best wishes. The drawing is new and not yet framed, but that can be arranged if you wish. Unframed it comes in a tube when sold. Of course with the signed certificate of authenticity.
