This is a portrait of an adorable and adored baby girl; the painting’s title comes from a remark once made by her mother. The baby girl is the great grandchild of a very close friend.
This is also a portrait of joy transcending sadness. This baby’s mother [not shown] lost her own mother while still a teenager. With the help, love and guidance of her extended family, the teenager grew into a strong and determined young woman. And she is the supremely loving mother of her two children. Despite the teenager’s terrible loss, the young woman has the capacity to enfold her children in love. And so she does.
