Mixed media hand embroidery and acrylic painting on canvas. Mommy and Baby by Kathy Poitras

A naïve expressionist painting and hand embroidery of a mother breastfeeding her baby on a bed of beautiful burgundy velvet flowers.  Mommy and Baby.  by Canadian  artist Kathy Poitras

The original is 18x24 inches.

Hand embroidery, acrylic paint, applique and bead work. This work of art took me about 10 years to complete.  Inspired by the birth of my first grand child, it is an expression of love.  

The sky chain stitch hand embroidery.  The woman and baby are acrylic paint. The bed is applique and embroidery. There is a bead-work border surrounding the image.
