Hugging Your Child – Floral Oil Painting on Canvas

Hugging Your Child is an oil painting on a 24 × 10 inch canvas by Chris Newson.

An adult embraces a child in a tall, narrow composition filled with richly textured flowers. Red and orange faces contrast with white and pale pink blooms, yellow accents and a deep blue background above green ground. Thickly applied paint gives the embrace a sculptural quality and a warm sense of closeness.
