The lady portrayed in this painting (Lethy) is a very close friend of mine who was expecting her first child. I got a good opportunity to be with her and understand her emotions and feelings which encouraged me to pick up my brushes and lay them out on my canvas.
During her pregnancy she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions from happiness to uncertainty of the future. A great deal of physical and mental stress that is exerted during this phase can test her limits but the blissful nature of giving birth and taking care of an innocent life can never be surpassed by fear.
