Description
Inspired by the famous 'dust-bowl' era B&W photograph "Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange, this updated colorized version shows the central figure emerging not unscathed but still undefeated from an unidentifiable darkness swirling around her. The bathing light shows a face of strength, determination, and humanity. Grace, dignity, and femininity in the figure's pose seems to shake off the darkness. A timeless beauty, undiminished by the mars of suffering or the carving done by the obstacles of life.

I have long admired the photograph by Dorthea Lange. Your painting captured the hopelessness of the dust bowl in the depression.

Thank you Frank and Everett. My purpose for using the 'Migrant Mother' photo was because of it's association to motherhood. I wanted to portray that strength and beauty of women that is beyond motherhood. To be able to see past the beauty of motherhood and into the woman. Thank you very much for your comments and support.
