12x12” Collage on Birchwood | Handmade Frame with Metal Corners

by Martha A. Wade

A celebration of abundance, healing, and the quiet magic of growth. This intimate mixed media painting remixes elements from two of my earlier works — Self Love and Goodness in the Garden — layering them into a new story. The figure’s face, textured and contemplative, is lifted from Self Love, while the lush green leaves spring from the garden where joy and nurturing take root.

Painted on natural birchwood with vibrant collage and hand-painted leaves, Be Fruitful and Multiply is about about creativity, legacy, and the things we grow when we’re grounded in love.

Framed by hand, with protective metal corners, this piece is both delicate and bold — a reminder to sow beauty, and let it multiply.
