Reading Mother


Here's my entry to this week's topic. I painted this piece last month with acrylics and ink on watercolour paper. This mother-to-be was inspired in myself as I was a few years ago - knowing that my time was running short and that I would be soon too busy, I read as much as I could throughout my pregnancy.

Sweet piece. If only... My wife was sick so I was the one for the first 3 years that took care of our daughter day and night. Day and long, long, sleepless nights. Actually, it's amazing how one adjusts. Must be parental instinct.

I really like the gentle gesture. Nice!

How true! I love the shape of the pregnant abdomen. It looks perfect!
