Keep Calm and Carry On (Chocolate!)

Original mixed media artwork painted on an 8” x 10” canvas panel.

This piece has incredible texture and fun hidden meanings. It was painted on a foundation of gift tissue paper, to represent the crumpled loads of laundry ever-present at the birth of a new little one. The mom and dad bird are taking turns resting over the little one, with the typical dose of fatigue and wide-eyed wonder present in their eyes. Sometimes, love can carry you through the sleep deprivation. If that fails...chocolate. (And a healthy dose of humor!)
