A helping hand...

In the studio this week I have had the joy of helping create
a "surprise" Mother's Day gift for a friend...

I textured, painted, & glazed a stretched canvas...
then snuck in the precious subjects,
placed their hands on the canvas forming a heart shape,


(I just LOVE anything with a child's handprint!!! )


after a final glaze and sealing,
it's ready to surprise their sweet mom!


after all:


"A child is really a mother's heart walking around outside herself."

So True!!! isn't it?
Many Blessings!
