On My Hip
Motherhood is a swirl of emotions. From sleepless nights to early mornings, sometimes mothers are functioning the best they can with a baby on her hip, trying to conquer the world, or at least finish washing up a sink full of dishes.
This piece features a stylized, abstract rendering of what could be interpreted as a figure or a character, set against a vibrant red background that gradients into a pink shade. The central figure consists of round shapes, with a large red circular form serving as the body or main element and a smaller red circle positioned above to the side. The simple yet bold color palette and shapes give the artwork a playful and lighthearted feel. The use of shading and highlights on the red forms adds depth and dimension to the composition. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of joy and warmth through its use of color and abstract representation.
