Before I start with the reading I want to apologize for the quality of the scan. I need to fiddle with the scan settings when I have a little more time as the watercolour pictures seem to scan quite differently to the pencil drawing. In the original there is a little more red colour in the bottom half of the kneeling figure and in the little figure behind her, and the red as such is not quite as bright as it appears in the scan.
Anyway, I saw a maternal figure here, possibly pregnant, and passionate about her creative ability or quite literally about being a mother. Perhaps I was thinking of your avatar name when I was doing the drawing.
I also see a very protective female figure. There is a little person, a boy, kneeling behind her. The two figures almost blend into each other. The boy seems afraid of something and he is hiding with his mother because that's where he finds protection and a feeling of being safe and secure.
I feel the kneeling female figure is you, perhaps quite literally in the role of mother and passionate about that role and about your children (in the original the dominant colour in both figures is red).
At the same time, I had the impression that the boy may be having trouble making himself fully understood to his mother. She has his back to him after all. Maybe this is reminding you of your own childhood. I'm not quite clear on this, but maybe the message is to look into the past to understand an issue that may be there in the present.
Overall, I had a sense that this quite literally refers to motherhood rather than creativity in a more general sense.
Hope some of it resonates. And if I get my scanner onto better settings I'll post a better scan.
P.S.: On the theme of motherhood and creativity, both the watercolour paper and the colours that I used for this drawing were gifted to me by my mother - nice coincidence, I thought
Yes, that is exactly what I felt withe the two figures blending into each other, that you don't know where one ends and the other begins, and also that it may be overwhelming for him because he's so small.It's not that he isn't understood...we have a complex relationship. I think it's more that he is empathic, as am I and sometimes it's hard to know where one of us stops and the other starts,especially for a child. I think him being behind me, and kind of molding into me show that he struggles with finding his own self, outside of me. We are very in tune with each other. He has called me at work because he felt my stress. We feel each other's emotions.
Yes, the original shall be yours. Pm me and we'll work something out.Thank you so much for this. You definitely picked up on me and the most dominate other person in my life. The painting is perfect. I want it!! Are you selling the originals? Let me know.
I'm just checking in to say that I've done the drawing for Little One.
Next I'll be doing strangebrew's and then celticnoodle's. I'll post images and readings when I've done celticnoodle's. The reason is that I'm working on a large sheet of paper which is glued on all sides to the pad. That way the paper doesn't buckle when it's wet since I'm using watercolour. I can fit 4 small drawings onto the sheet. EmpressArwen's was the first, and it didn't scan so well. So ideally I'd like to complete the remaining 3 drawings first before I detach the sheet. Should get that done by the end of Monday.

***also this could not come at a better time...I'm going to have a very difficult day and this was a timely reminder of who I am and what is really important...so thank you again***
***editing to add one more thing...The woman is kneeling. I pray this way...a lot! My son always would press up against me during the Hail Mary portion of the Rosary. It is his favorite prayer. This looks just like when we were praying together especially when he was younger.****
