Remembering Bliss

I finished an art doll, woohoo!
It has been so long, and I've been working on this one since December!  I finally finished her today.  She is inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting Mother and Child.  I really just wanted to capture a posture and feeling that I get from Mother and Child.  


I named it Remembering Bliss because I hope that it will take the viewer into a blissful moment in life.

It could be an embrace from a mother, a lover,

Holding a child close to your heart, 


or a cherished moment, any moment of bliss or sacredness.
 
  This is Gustav Klimt's painting:


Thank you for stopping by!
