This is a portrait I did of Brigitte, who relishes motherhood. The look of contentment is due to having her girls close by, these are her favourite colours, that of earth and love... Of course my EROS and ROSE symbolism encompasses nurturing, as the root is drawing up the nourishment to feed the plant. This process is vital to growth, evolution and the survival of our gene pool. On the path to enlightenment, for some people, selfless sacrifice as practiced in the role of motherhood is the only way to fully comprehend unconditional love and let this be so.
