Composition Painting



This is based on a painting by Honore` Daumier. It is of a peasant mother helping her small child. The contours and deep colors touched me., as a mother who has spent time bending to help two children.

This is mixed media, using oil, spray paint and enamel. The polyurethane creates a sheen.
