The Nurturing Heart #1000Speak

Today is posting day for 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion. The first was February 20^th and the response was so great it was decided to keep it going. The founders Yvonne Spence and Lizzie Rogers, along with a team of helpers have gone so far as establishing a website 1000 Speak for Compassion.

Most posts were writers sharing their impressions and feelings about compassion. As a visual artist, I chose to create a painting to 'speak' for me. I posted We are Here! 1000 Voices Speak for Compassion in January and painted the The Angel of Compassion in February.

#1000Speak (as known for tagging purposes) chose the March blogging subject to be about Bullying and I did not participate. Although I have been a victim in the past, my heart did not lead me to try to illustrate this.

I was intrigued with the subject of 'Nurturing' for the month of April and decided to do a painting again. Once again I 'creeped' through friends and relatives online photos. While I was doing this, my sister Lucie Aimar shared a picture she had just taken of our mother and Meredith (our niece Amy's beautiful little girl). I knew it was perfect and saved it. I asked and was granted permission from sis to use it for this project.

 

Here is what I have done today. It is unfinished and I will share again when it is done (probably next week). I used oil on 8” x 10” gallery wrapped canvas. I call it 'The Nurturing Heart.' 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As with my previous painting, I will let the image 'speak' for itself.
