Mother and child, a reoccurring subject in art history.

 Throughout the history of art, the bond between Mother and Child has been a reoccurring subject, and one that has slowly crept into my imagery.

Gustav Klimt's painting titled 'Mother and Child' is one of my favorite artworks which depict this theme. I painted my own version of Klimt's painting, substituting the human characters for birds.  

My painting 'Mother and Child' was purchased by Maxine Stibbe' as a gift for her mother.  Like myself, Maxine is also an artist, she has portrayed the bond between mother and child in a recent self portrait of herself and her children.
