Loving mother

Bronze and alabaster stone. About eight inches high and four inches by six inches wide.

This depicts a mother cradling her child in her loving arms. A fellow student suggested I use white patina to unify the upper part made in bronze with the lower part made in stone. I chose the stone because I saw knees and a foot in the lower part of the stone and imagined then created the upper part of her body.

This sculpture was given to my cousins Davy and Gloria because I have been touched by the love they have for their sons. When I see this sculpture it reminds me of how they always "hold" their sons in their protective arms. I love this sculpture and I love them.
