Description: Lois Moriarity chose a lush agricultural landscape to focus our interest on this mother and child moment. The two don’t interact except for sharing an intimate togetherness which couldn’t be closer. The child rests snugly; carefully wrapped, head covered, legs free on its mother’s back. Mother’s eyes are engaged with the plants, posturing so she can pick the ripe ones. Her child is safe and likely cozy; for the moment at least. His long legs dangle hinting he’s outgrowing the safe situation. The colors are stunning and probably not common for a harvesting portrayal. They are deep, sensuous shades of blue. Picasso blues. Peacock blues. Stormy blues. The leaves of the plants are blue, the mountains are blue, the distant buildings are…blue. Does Lois use the beautiful use of blues to deepen our empathy for the migrant mother? Do we think the mother is calmly, happily picking produce? Or, maybe mother is contemplating the day when baby is too heavy to carry whilst she works? Is this a beautiful mother and baby portrait? Or is there more meaning hauntingly hidden by captivating colors? Framed it measures 24.5”l x 28.5”w. Condition is excellent.
