African Mother III

Hello everyone, happy and appreciating you all the time you comment and check my progress in the art.
African mother with a deep bond with her child.
The African mother primarily connects with the child through sufficient breastfeeding and also communicating with the child through her mind.
This applied metaphorically to my ability to draw, paint, sculpt how my medium and my materials are well connected to my mind before applying it.

I really like it when my mind is connected to my canvas or the medium I am producing depending on my choice of pigment.

It helps me see the end result before applying it.

Looking at my reference, a lot of things speak to me through it or the frame, the strong elements of art that I see in hers or what is the second sense of the reference that I represent.
The source of light and shadow has always been in the back of my mind.
Thank you for taking the time to examine the artwork.
