Art Wednesday: Mothers and babies
Woman and baby by Edward Lamson Henry
Yesterday my dear cousin gave birth to a baby boy . . . so I thought today's paintings should celebrate this wonderful news . . . so, its all about babies and to welcome . . . one very special baby named David. A precious gift from God - Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3

Elizabethan Sisters and their babies, circa 1599
(I find this one a little amusing!!)
This is one of my favourites - does it sum up what being mother is all about.

How beautiful! I especially love 'The Cradle', as it looks exactly like mine that I used for both my children! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe Elizabethan sisters look very rigid, don't they. After reading books from that era and the way they swaddled the babies so tight, they may well have been as stiff as that!
ReplyDeleteFirst congratulations to all.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful...what a wonderful way to end my day, just viewing each of these...thanks as always
Pictures of mothers with children are always so lovely but then again we are biased aren't we?:)
ReplyDeleteI love that Donald Zoland one - there is something beautiful about siblings that love each other and get along together, no matter how young they are!
ReplyDeleteI also like that last one - it's sweet! :)
Chuckle - The Elizabethan Sisters is priceless!
ReplyDeleteChildren are truly such a blessing
ReplyDeleteHi Angel - they certainly are and don't the faces of these mothers say just that:)
