Description

This painting is about a Jewish Mother, who would be ready "to give up the most that anyone could give, the gift of life itself. Any person can fathom the immense spiritual willpower required for an act of such magnitude. Only a mother, though, can appreciate the awesome self-sacrifice required to choose to depart from this world..." (http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/719253/jewish/A-Mothers-Greatest-Sacrifice-1992.htm)
.....................................
If you look closely at the painting, you will find almost invisible notes to the beautiful famous song about a Jewish Mother ready to go through the "fire and water", to any extremes in exchange of the prosperity, health and happiness of her children...
.....................................
"In water, through fire, she would have run for her child
Not to hold her dear, is surely the greatest sin,
How lucky and rich is the one who has
Such a beautiful gift presented from G-d
Like and old Yiddishe Mame
My Yiddishe Mame!"
- A Yiddishe Mame

This artwork, as all my other paintings, is oil on canvas. My technique is to create many layers with plenty of texture. It usually takes a long time before the painting is finalized.
