LOVELESS - \"PRETTY BABY\" 16 x 20 original oil on canvas board COA For Sale

Original Oil Painting — “PRETTY BABY”
16 x 20 inches | One of a Kind

I titled this painting “PRETTY BABY” because there are few things in life as pure, honest, and innocent as the peaceful rest of a newborn child.

This work was created to honor that very first quiet moment—when the world is new, the breath is gentle, and everything feels soft and safe. I intentionally kept the background subtle and delicate, allowing it to reflect the calm sleep of the baby and to cradle the subject without distraction. The softness of the space is meant to echo the tenderness we all recognize when looking at a sleeping child.

This is an original oil painting on canvas, measuring 16 x 20 inches, created in 2025 in my Texas studio. The piece is painted in a contemporary style with elements of realism, portraying an African American baby with warmth, dignity, and care. It is signed by me, the artist, and is truly one of a kind (OOAK)—no prints or reproductions exist.

The artwork is unframed, giving you the freedom to choose a presentation that fits your space. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by me. I also offer a personalization option, allowing you to include meaningful words to accompany the artwork—perfect for commemorating a birth, honoring family, or creating a timeless keepsake.

This piece is ideal for collectors who value human emotion, innocence, and meaningful contemporary art. It is not only a painting, but a quiet reminder of how gentle life begins.

Thank you for taking the time to view “PRETTY BABY.” I hope it finds a home where its message of innocence and love can be felt every day.
