Mommy and Baby by Kathy Poitras

A naïve expressionist painting and hand embroidery of a mother breastfeeding her baby on a bed of beautiful burgundy velvet flowers.  Mommy and Baby.  by Canadian artist Kathy Poitras

The original is 18x24 inches.

Hand embroidery, acrylic paint, applique and bead work. This work of art took me about 10 years to complete.  Inspired by the birth of my first grand child, it is an expression of love.  

The sky chain stitch hand embroidery.  The woman and baby are acrylic paint. The bed is applique and embroidery. There is a bead-work border surrounding the image.  This piece took me almost a decade to complete. The intricate chain stitch design is completely from my own imagination, and it would take me approximately 9 hours to complete a square inch.  

Kathy,

1. Gold Art Supporter: This is where you purchase at the actual price, I think the painting is worth. As an extra bonus, the GOLD SUPPORTER will receive a certificate of authenticity with the painting, with the handwritten inside story about the inspiration behind the work.  You will be the only one to receive this.   (Ask me about a payment plan) 
2. Silver Art Supporter:  This is where you purchase the painting at a somewhat discounted price.  You will receive a certificate of authenticity with the painting.   (Ask me about a payment plan) 
3. Bronz Art Supporter:  This is where you may purchase the painting at the lowest price, I can bear to sell it for.  Still, I very much appreciate the painting finding a home, and you will receive the painting as well as a handwritten thank you note.
