A new painting. "We all love our babies" A celebration of diversity and motherhood

by Kathy Poitras

 

I just completed this painting which is 14 x 21 inches. Watercolor and ink.  

I think I will call it, "We all love our babies" 

I was horrified as I watched the news story of the policeman kneeling on George Floyd's neck, and as I listened I could hear the words that this man died as a result.  I was deeply moved and inspired as the world came together with one message.  Black lives matter.  These events influenced this painting. 

I had actually sketched the women and babies several years ago, wanting to express the same thing.  The incomplete painting was sitting in a pile of incomplete paintings, and I resurrected it. Now I felt that the world needed this painting so I finished it. 

We all love our babies. no matter what color we are!  How boring the world would be if we were all the same!  

I am an expressionist, so the images here are from my mind. 

If you feel so inclined, I would very much appreciate your help in sharing my message of peace and love.  If  you could share this blog using the social media buttons below, and make a comment on my blog in the fields all the way at the bottom of the page that would be wonderful!

  • This is just beautiful. I purchased some 6 of your cards and one 8×11 on dynamics some years ago, they are still held dear to my heart, I am so glad to see you still doing such beautiful works that make you ponder about life and all of it’s beauty and showing it’s challenges in such glorious ways.
