Portrait artist paints Cooing – painting of mom carrying baby

Cooing / 5 x 7 inches / available on my paintings of people page /a portrait of you and your baby 

This is the first painting I’ve finished in some time and I’m really excited to have finished. This is painted from a photo, and is part of my Mom Loving series. I’m saving it for my first Midwestern show in South Dakota.

I’ve painted this woman once before – Baby Carrier, in Watercolor Paintings – and she makes a beautiful model.

If you’re interested in commissions, or want to learn more about the Mom Loving series, please email me.

Scarlett – portrait painting of mom and baby in love by artist Jessie Rasche

Thank you Katie for sharing your photo!

This one has so many layers. Through the whole process I was really happy with the drawing, but had a hard time resolving the colors and especially the values. I think it turned out really well in the end. They look so in love.

Portrait artist paints a mom and baby in Holding On

To purchase, email Jessie with the name of the painting you want, and payment preference (secure PayPal invoice, check or payment plan). Jessie will get back to you right away. Thank you for visiting Jessie Rasche’s Art Gallery.

This is a man and infant who were standing at the amusement park a couple days ago. I really liked the way he was holding the baby – it looked so intimate. The mom is the purple shape behind them.

I tried to get that nice skin-glow on this one – especially since they were both wearing red, which reflects off of skin so nicely.

Portrait artist paints a “Cuddle Nap”

SOLD. Cuddle Nap / 8×6 in / oil on linen
Mom Loving Project #13 of 30.
Available paintings of people: http://jessiesfineart.com/people-painting.html.

That photograph was taken right after we got home from the hospital with baby Joe, so he was two days old. I was tired, but SO happy to be home with my baby. And I never wanted to put that baby down. And he never wanted to be put down, either, so that worked out well!  My husband took this photograph, so I also love the expression in my face, which was so loving towards him as well as happy with my baby. It doesn’t hurt that Joe is the spitting image of his father, so it’s like a small version of my husband’s nose peeking out from the swaddling cloth. It was a special moment.” -Inder

This mom and baby look so content.

One of the really fun things about this project is that I feel like I know the models by the time the paintings are done. Or maybe just something about them at that particular moment. This scene reminds me of when my son was that age – I loved the cuddle-naps.

By the way, the prize for the 100 FB likes drawing was sent out to Xan; she chose the car and can painting.

That worked out so well, there will be another drawing for a free painting when I get to 200 FB likes!

MOM LOVING PROJECT: This is a little different from a commission, as people submitting photos are not necessarily purchasing the paintings. If you want to participate in this project, email me with your photo(s). And if you think (or know) you will want to purchase the painting, please put that information in the email.

I am really excited about my “Mom Loving” portrait project: a series of 30 small paintings (6×6 – 6×8 inches) of moms loving and bonding with (holding, nursing, sleeping with, snuggling, carrying, etc.) their babies and young children. The best paintings will be published as part of an art book in 2011. You can also, optionally, suggest a short statement (around 35 words and/or your name(s)) that you’d like to appear next to the painting when it’s published in the book and on my blog.

Moms / Dads / the person submitting the photo will have the first opportunity (but no obligation) to purchase their painting.

For this project I am looking for candid-looking photos, and especially ones that have good light (outdoors with light from the  side or side/back is best)  and are good enough quality to see some details, and which are taken far enough away that most or all of the mom and child are in the picture. With that said, I’ve received a couple fuzzy and very close up pictures that will work nicely.

These paintings will be in my impressionist / modern realist style. See: http://jessiesfineart.com

If you’d like to participate and submit photos for this project, email me. If you have several photos from the same time, send them all – that makes it easier to paint. Thanks!

[By submitting a photograph for this project, you’re agreeing that I will own the copyright on my paintings, but of course you will retain the copyright of your photographs.]

Any questions, comments or suggestions appreciated!!
