Mother & Child

A couple of Sundays ago I went to 9 o’clock Mass in the Immaculate Conception Church in Newburyport where I have attended Mass since I was a young boy. I was struck and moved by a mother holding her newborn under the stained glass window. In some ways, it’s spoke to me as a modern day Madonna and I thought I would try to capture the essence of that feeling in watercolor back in the studio.
