Heaven Has Rocking Chairs, an angel grandmother with baby, oils on canvas

This is my second commissioned painting of a "grandmother" rocking her grandchild, with her added heavenly wings.This lady's daughter had 5 miscarriages, but feels like her grand-babies are waiting in heaven for her.She asked for a non-gender color to represent all of the babies.The grandmother, who has gorgeous red hair, is presented as she looks now.

I got so carried away as this painting literally flowed onto the canvas, so I didn't capture the stages as I would have liked. During the process, I felt constantly 'nudged' to paint purple/ lavender wings, with 'dashes' of purple hues here and there.I wasn't sure my client would like purple, so I contacted her about it. Come to find out, purple is her favorite color! God knows all!


A few minor adjustments ( the baby needed a smile the grandmother noted!). A button, for a private meaning, was added to her left shoulder area, above her grand-baby's tiny head. Completed, ready to dry, and ship to make smiles on family faces.


I hope you've enjoyed this painting. I love taking commissions.I can adjust to your own request on colors, and other details, to make this  one for you to  celebrate your own meaning, or that of a friend or family member. Please contact me through this blog, or my email, @ sandrasart777@aol.com. Small paintings start at less than $100.00!
