Our Daily Bread by Jane Stimpson Image: “This painting is a memory of my mother. She made her own bread every day for all the years I was growing up. I can still smell it baking. I have always loved art, even as a child. When I see people, scenery, etc., I always see it in my mind as a future work. Especially people. I admire the human form and strive to capture their character. The painting is acrylic on canvas with a protective varnish coating.”
