A CALM PLACE
A Calm Place captures the comforting bond of a mother in repose with her newborn child on her stomach, each reassured by their familiar heart rhythms. Unlike most artwork in which the mother is shown holding the child in her arms, this shows the mother and child in a complete state of rest, secure after weathering the storms of childbirth.
"[Johnston’s] works are romantic in the truest sense of the word, imaginative and realistic. They bring us out of our daily materialism and into the heart of what is worthwhile."
