Peinture sur la soie

"Chaque artiste plonge sa brosse dans sa propre âme,

et peint sa propre nature dans ses images"

-Henry Ward Beecher

This morning, as I was rummaging through the basement, I came across this beautiful painting of a mother and her child. Its artist used a piece of silk as their canvas, and the result is stunning. My dad told me that when he and my mum visited Quebec when they were dating, he went into his mum's storage cupboard where she had kept many of her parents antiques. This particular painting, which once belonged to my great-grandparents, caught their eye. I'm looking forward to one day hanging it in my own home and enjoying its beauty.

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,

and paints his own nature into his pictures"

-Henry Ward Beecher
