Mommy Said - Fine Art Print

This heartwarming artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges captures a tender moment of childhood innocence and summer joy. Set against the backdrop of a serene beach, the painting portrays two children playing at the water's edge. The girl, confidently standing in her floral swimsuit and red sunglasses, watches over the boy as he digs into the sand with a toy shovel. The gentle waves and warm tones of the beach evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers to carefree days spent by the sea.

The title, Mommy Said, hints at the unspoken guidance and protective care that shapes childhood memories. Adding a deeply personal touch, the boy in the painting is the artist’s eldest son, depicted from a cherished family photograph. This connection imbues the artwork with a sense of intimacy and authenticity, reflecting Antionette’s ability to celebrate everyday moments while honoring the bonds of trust, curiosity, and exploration that define childhood.

This giclée fine art print, available on archival-quality paper, ensures that its vibrant colors and intricate details endure for generations. Perfect for adding warmth and a touch of nostalgia to any space, Mommy Said is a tribute to the beauty of childhood and the lessons passed down through family.
