MOTHERS IN ART



"Young mother contemplating her sleeping child in candlelight"
by Albert Anker, 1875
I dedicate this post to all mothers I know and all mommies-to-be!
Motherhood is a lifelong experience full of happiness, tears, patience, anxieties, joys, fears, anger, proud moments and moments we want to forget. Single child or a bunch of them - it doesn't matter, my hat off to you, moms! You never stop being a mother... you are still there when you children are grown up and still need your guidance. You are a mother to their friends too, for only God knows how many of them went through your house in a need of meal, praise and smile. ENJOY!
