The singer posted a few unseen photos of blue-toned impressionist paintings while also meeting up with Michele Lamy, the wife of designer Rick Owens. 

In the cover photo, the 66-year-old was seen wearing a black leather fur coat, matching glasses, heeled boots, and a scarf while giving her son a warm hug.

However, this certainly isn’t the first time Madonna has shown support for her son’s profession.

Back in April, the pop star visited another of Ritchie’s exhibitions, titled “Pack A Punch,” which was located in Miami. Her other children—David, 18, Mercy, 18, and twins Stella and Estere, 11—were able to join her for the event.

“So happy to have the night off to enjoy my son Rocco’s latest collection of paintings called ‘Pack A Punch’ inspired by Muay Thai fighters,” she wrote in her Instagram post.

In August, Madonna shared a birthday post for Ritchie, reflecting on the journey they’ve been through together.

She wrote, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCCO — the long and winding road through all your many moods and incarnations has been tumultuous and full of surprises. But through it all — your curiosity and Artistic Soul has been the glue that has held us together.”

“Thank God for Art. Thank God for you. We have been together for many lifetimes. Thank you for choosing me again. I Love you — for eternity.”

When Madonna spoke with W Magazine about her Celebration Tour, she got candid about her artistic family.

“When I go on tour, nothing brings me more happiness than to know we are all working on the same show, creating the magic together,” she said. “Of course, I am their mother so sometimes we get on each other’s nerves. We are a family of artists but we are also a family, and that’s what happens.”

Netizens commented on the special mother-son relationship

The bond between a mother and son is always special—and commenters were quick to point that out.

“I love seeing you and Rocco bonding,” one person wrote. “He’s so talented! I want one of those paintings.”

“Great mother,” another echoed. “Always supporting her children.”

Commenters also showed their support for Ritchie’s artwork

It is the amount of digital altering that Madonna does on her face that just detracts from everything else.

I see BP has added a "premium" option with pretty coloured "lights" to draw attention to it so we can pay to avoid ads. Some will, possibly, it's up to you. I see very few ads, well, looking at my screen all I can see at the moment is.. Get the App, "Download on the App Store" Or "Get it on Google Play" or "Follow on Google News" Nah, I'll just ignore what ads there are on my PC.
