Born In My Heart - Adopted Child Art Print

Message from the Artist: This little one’s eyes came to me during meditation – and the rest of the painting very quickly followed. I put it all together in my mind and was literally shaking with excitement to get to the studio to create her

❤️ The eyes came to me, perhaps because I witnessed the birth of my friend’s son the night before, and his innocent newborn eyes mesmerized me. He gazed upon his mama like he’d known her for years. And he probably had.

❤️ In this painting, the butterfly was a surprise, and the child’s little hand and pointy finger, made me right away think of Buddha. Which was a treasured turn of events for me. There is a richness I sought with this piece – delicate clarity with just the right amount of sweetness without being too cutesy. I think I got there. Do you?

❤️ This little child is truly tender-hearted, and calls to mind the daughter of one of my long-time collectors. But she also, obviously, developed so sincerely in the heart of her mama ~ nurtured and accepted. Encircled with whimsy, nature and loveliness.

FRAMING: For paper prints, use a frame that matches the size of your print if you want the image to go right to the edges. The 1/8” margin will be hidden behind the frame. Prefer some space between art and frame? Choose a larger frame with a window mat that fits the print size. For example, a 16x16 inch frame with a 12x12 inch mat, or a 12x12 inch frame with an 8x8 inch mat. Simple and beautiful!
