About the work:
“This work originated as a sketch I drew around the time both my sisters were expecting. What I liked about what subconsciously came out of that flow state sketch was the concept of this pregnant mother with her hand outstretched and looking up at a dark cloud filled sky: expecting child and expecting rain. I thought the anticipation of life giving rain and the impending storm that showered it were an interesting analogy for the chapter my sisters were in: anticipating the excitement, challenges and upheaval to prior routines newborns bring. The pattern of upside down and right side up clouds and the absence of a clear horizon in this painting suggests that the figure is in a surreal limbo between worlds and times. Her striking strong features and halo convey a sense of dignity and strength whilst her kneeling position conveys brave surrender to the present moment and upcoming change.” - Cynthia Howard
