Description
My gift to my mom this Christmas, a watercolor painting that's a redo of an old concept I painted for her in 2003! Her last name means "Little Bear"in Italian, and so our family has always kind of taken the bear as our symbol. When my grandfather passed away, I had painted a bear portrait for my mom incorporating roses, his favorite flower. He taught his children appreciation of nature and gardening through tending his roses. His middle name was Rosario as well, which means "Rose". I've been promising for years to repaint that original concept in that old painting, and I'm glad I finally got to. I love my family very much, and I am so glad to be able to do art for them when I can.6" X 8.5" Watercolor and acrylic ink on watercolor paper

When my great grandparents came to America, they anglicized it to fit in to their new home! Same with my dad's side of the family, who came from Norway. :3

this is absolutely gorgeous! The shading and anatomy is incredible, and that the swirls and such coming off the rose and around the bear make for such an interesting piece of the composition. gosh, those colors look great too! and the symbolism and inner meanings give the picture a whole new dimension! your skills with different media are stunning! I've seen what I believe was marker and pencil from you before, but not watercolor prior to now, it's so beautiful! you've got such talent ;o;
happy holidays to you and your family! you all stay safe and have a wonderful day <3
