Does anyone know where this painting came from? A friend posted it on her facebook and she got it from someone who got it from someone and no one knows where it originated.

Its relatively modern based upon the style, and clearly religious in orientation, but I wouldn't even begin to know where to look for the painting. Honestly, its not of sufficient skill or quality that I would think it readily search-able, but who knows. |

Yeah....my fear is that its some local artist or something and I'll never find it.  The theme is pretty specific...infant loss & heaven, but I have had zero luck in searching. |

If my memory serves me correctly, this is something that Stathol has some ability with. You should PM him, and seek his help. |

I tried searching on "Mother baby womb stars pointing" or something like that, turned up nada in 15 pages of images. I'll be curious if someone does find it, and how. |

Would be rather easy to recreate and print. |

I don't know what the painting's origin is, but I do think it might have come from a different painting? Inspired by, that is....but I can't remember what that one is called, either. |

My art history is failing me, but this seems stylistically similar to someone--just can't remember who. |

Found it! http://www.babythomas.co.uk/poetry1.html It's "Sorrow (My Lost Child)", painted by Victoria Dixon after the stillbirth of her child, Thomas Dixon in 2004. The painting is or was "unfinished" according to the blog, and I don't know if it was ever completed. She made a earlier, similar painting in 2002 called "Unison" here, on which "Sorrow" was obviously based. She has a business, Enhance-Me, and is from Stenness, Orkney in Scotland. Your version has been cropped by just a few pixels on the left, top, and bottom, but seems to be otherwise unmodified. It's kind of odd, because now that I know the title and original file name, I can find it scattered around the web in various places, but none of them are the cropped version you have. Go figure. The search (GIS) that found it was: +comet +womb +painting I'm not even sure that google honors '+' anymore, but old habits die hard. I also found a thematically similar painting called "Moondance" by Aaron Paquette, for whatever that's worth. |

Convinced that Stathole is a Google bot. |

Yeah, I'm very impressed, Stathol. How the hell you saw that that is a comet, though, I dunno. Good eye. At least I had one of the search terms. And, yeah, I put "+" signs in all the time, but I don't think it's reading them the way we think it should. Good job, though, man. |

Now if only I could make some progress on this one :/ Aethien wrote: How the hell you saw that that is a comet, though, I dunno. It has just a little bit of a tail to it. I thought maybe it might depict a shooting star or comet. But the amusing question is why google tagged it with that term. If you take a closer look at the page, it never uses that word to describe the image -- but "comet" does show up in a poem further down the page. In other words, it just pure dumb luck that "comet" wound up working as a search term.

'Comet' does seem to be the trick. Tried a couple different searches but I can't seem to come up with it without using comet. I shoulda put more time into this yesterday! :p In related news, this finally got me to use Google image search's color search thing! It seems really useful for something like this. It probably helps that the painting's overall color tends to match one of Google's pretty closely, though. |
