Message from the Artist: As if carved into the bark of a tree to last forever, this moment with 6 little cherubs is sweet and tender. She stays still and holds on and I can just feel the warm bodies and sticky cheeks and gooey smiles that surround her. Some mischief, some calm, some jokes being told. A tender face-to-face caress.

Our moments, though, are not carved in stone or tree, they fleet and they fly, and it is our duty to hold on to them whenever we can. And we are destined to spend our days looking back on them, remembering the sweet and sassy instances, the essence of laughter and the love beaming from sparkly eyes.

The vision of my son’s 2-year-old eyes gazing at me and filled with tender love, are one of my saving graces. No matter what the days bring, I have a son who looked at me as if I was absolutely everything he needed. He’s big now, but the glimmer of those eyes still float at the surface of my mind. It is one thing that keeps me kind and patient, one thing that makes most everything he does seem so endearing to me, even as a 17-year-old ♥

Types of Art Prints:

Your Art Print will be created onto premium-quality heavyweight paper with an 8-ink process for vibrant, fade-proof color that illuminates YOUR space. Your smooth matte Archival Print will be hand-signed and carefully packaged for safe travels into your hands. I use archival materials so your ready-to-frame artwork will have 100+ beautiful years to inspire tender memories and touch hearts. Even when mom says she doesn't want anything, she may yearn for recognition of her motherhood journey.

Prints 12x12 or smaller are bagged to ship in a sturdy mailer, the title of the Art Print is written on the backing board. Most Art Prints have a small 1/8-inch border and fit standard frames. THICK MARGIN and EMBELLISHED Prints have 3/4-inch borders.

Also available as an 8x8 inch LIMITED EDITION signed and numbered print on paper (10 will be made).

 ••Hand-Embellished and Signed Art Prints••

A 12x12 Thick Margin Print is hand-accented with paint for brush-stroke texture. I take your print to my clean work table and add an artist’s touch to make your embellished Art Print one-of-a-kind and collectible. I autograph the front and sign and date the back of your Embellished print. Your print is then packaged in an acid free bag with a backing board, and gift wrapped before shipping in a sturdy mailer.

An Embellished Print allows for eye color changes, or color accents added to hair. I can darken or lighten hair, or add some facial hair, all with paint. I can even add names or dates, written with fine marker. Provide notes at check-out if you'd like your Embellished Print personalized with eye or hair color adjustments.

Allow 2 days before shipping, for creation and drying time.
