"Mother, Daughter 1st Conversation" portrait features my neighbors, The Brooks. When I saw the black in white photo of them, I knew I had to add them to my collection. I tried to capture the love and intimacy between them with the use of different acrylic gel mediums. They helped to create the illusion of their hair, clothes, and even the pillow they are laying on lifting off the canvas, a painting you can FEEL ! This was given to them as a gift for missing the baby shower..
