Description 'Unconditional Love' - 2014 - (Drawing)

©2014 *Stevegillettart

Here is a completed commission drawing of 'Unconditional Love'. This is the third of three Mother's Day drawings that I completed for Mother's Day 2014.

The original photograph is such a beautiful picture and i personally think it is one of the best that i have drawn. I'm so pleased that my client chose me to draw such a meaningful picture that is so close to his and his wife's heart.

Thank you so much.., the freckles were very pain staking but once I had finished them I loved the effect they gave.

This is so gorgeous my friend, I see this was made with lots of love.
You've captured the feelings very well, it is so personal, mother looks nurturing when holding the child so close to her.
I really like how carefully you have drawn the textures, especially the freckles, everything looks so very natural.
It is certainly one of your bests and i bet the client must have been very happy. Keep up your incredible work Steve!
