Picasso – Maternity

The angel is leaning over so caringly, welcoming several happy animals back into spirit through the portal that she guards. On her wing rests a happy round-faced nature spirit.

What strikes me about these images is how artists, who seek to interpret what they experience, often develop styles that I see in nature spirit art. The angel’s positioning reminds me of the drooping, embracing images of Picasso’s Blue period – there are a lot of Picasso structure images in nature!

This angel offers her compassionate assistance at LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve, St Charles, Illinois
