Mom Soaking in Bath

The pace of the world is fast and sometimes you just have to stand still for a moment and recharge. Self-care is crucial, something we all need. As a mom I realized how much I need to take care of myself so that I have a full cup of enthusiasm, smiles, kindness, strength, will-power, love, and peace to give to my kids and the world.

In the painting the bright warm colours that surround the mom are soothing yet strong. The contrasting colours signify the inner conflict of self-care, symbolizing the tension between what is important and what is urgent. Strong, bold brush strokes signify the inner strength of a mother – the glue of the family. She cooks, she cleans, she makes sure everyone is dressed and ready for the day. She bleeds, she carries and brings children into the world, she is always there, and she LOVES. Just do it mamma, make some time to recharge! (This goes for dad too!)
