Mum Making the Covid Comfort Blanket

Lynn Kirkley
Oil on canvas
March 2021

My mum simply. She spent lockdown knitting and crocheting a comfort blanket and embroidered the names of family members . The blanket was to be used by the family when anybody felt unwell. I was able to take a picture of her when we came out of the second lockdown and capture her in motion. The painting was inspired by her continual good humour and positivity.
