Holy Humans: Elisa Painting

A mother kneels with her son on her lap. Her arms are crossed in front of them, and his hands rest on her arms. Both of them stare intently at the viewer. A gold halo surrounds their heads. A contemplative blue background hints at depth and abstraction. This painting is part of a series of life-size oil paintings that celebrate parents who are artists. These powerful and complex human beings are raising children, fighting for justice, working to pay the bills, and pursuing their own creativity — every day. They deserve to be celebrated and commemorated for their work, their love, their passion, their existence. 50% of the sales proceeds from any prints or the original will go to the model, Elisa Grisales.
