Just had to stop & comment on this one - truly a beautiful portrait, wonderful strokes, emotion provoking, love the embrace and the soft kiss and the background is fitting.

Very nice work, especially like the red in the background, would be nice to see a little of it worked into the figures. The figures are very well done too.

wonderful portrait, and use of the medium

Love this Maria! the way U painted Brooke holding her child, looks strong and protective. The Baby also has a look of innocent wonder, that is nice. The kiss on the little head is also touching n sweet. Beautiful flow of Brookes hair caressing the child/ the dark backgrd. is kind of moody too. I heard a personal interview on the radio with Brooke talking about her struggles on becoming a new Mom! it was very interesting n brave of her to share her emotions so honestly with others, empathetic n candid! Did u hear about what she had to say? I think she also wrote a book. Not sure on that one though. wonderful tribute to her n her child! CB
