Original oil painting. Stretched slim line linen canvas
24 x 24 x1 inch
From childhood the story of Moses being set
adrift in his little boat cradle by his mother Jochebed fascinated
me.
All the illustrations and paintings I found
showed a smiling mother and child which puzzled me.
A happy mother setting her baby son adrift in a
little boat made from reeds didnt ring true.
The crocodile infested River Nile with the
Pharaohs troops ordered to kill all the baby boys nearby must have presented a frantic and desperate scene.
Ive tried to depict Jochebed and Moses as I saw them, through childhood eyes.
