Nap Time Study
Original oil on 4x6 panel
I have hundreds of photos of my children sleeping, and I’ve painted this one more than once.
I think I’m drawn to it because of the way her hand so delicately rests on her chest.
The colors, her baby cheeks, it’s such a warm memory for me. I get to preserve this memory in paint, a way to hold onto the most precious moments as a mother.
