Paintings of mother and baby

“Perfect peace”

In 2012 my daughter Annie was born. 

And every day I would see these wonderful scenes of mother and baby together.

So I did a lot of sketches and sometimes even a few paintings. 

Here are two of the paintings and a sketch.

I especially like the painting above of mother and baby sleeping together.

For me, it is an image of perfect peace.

I know that I didn’t paint the baby’s face very well but I still think it is a good painting.

Here is another painting of mother and baby but this time awake. 

I’m so grateful for those net curtains in both paintings as they provide a beautiful background.

And here is a pencil drawing of mother and baby that I am quite pleased with. 

I think my wife’s face doesn’t look very relaxed in this drawing. 

In actuality, I think it was. 

But I’m showing this drawing despite that because I still think it is a very good drawing and full of very exciting and energetic strokes.

That’s all,

Gareth.
