Friend Nature: Artist D.A. Hartley
Mother and Child

I was approached to paint murals in a new hospital wing for Children’s Hospital, Central Valley. The project entailed 150’ of nurses’ stations, eight hospital rooms, and an examination room. I called for help, and my son Charles Gilbert helped me for this month long project. My son was attending the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and left his studies for this project, I dropped out of the teaching credential program I was in. We dedicated our lives just for a month, and had the most enjoyable time with this project!

We then focused upon what scenes we wanted to portray.
Thinking of the children, and the suffering and healing they would experience here,
we chose family scenes of Mother and Child.
