Sketchbook Snapshot: Mother’s Day Watercolor

For Mother’s Day this year, we invited my plant-loving, artistic Mama over for some watercolor painting. This is one of my creations.

a watercolor painting of 6 green plants in variously shaped terra cotta pots. 3 of the plants have flowers.

THE LOVE SERIES #10: Mama Love

This is the 9th installment of The Love Series and it’s a celebration of the love a mother feels for her child. I did this painting when I was pregnant with my daughter and in complete awe of how much love I felt for someone I hadn’t even seen with my own two eyes.

My love for her now is the same as it was then: powerful, fierce, and deep. Any person is capable of feeling this kind of love whether they are a biological parent, adoptive parent, step-parent, animal parent, grandparent, auntie, uncle, or friend. May we all know the joy of giving and receiving such a love.
