Diane, a very well done piece of work. Only a mother will understand this. You also picked the right name for your stunning expression of what being a WOMAN is really all about.

Comment from The Muse Diva
Sigh. Okay, your the second person I have seen in this contet that I think beats my entry. Oi:0 Thiis is a fantastic piece. I love the style and form of your figures, and the duality represented in the feminine, which of course is all about woman:) It is very archetypical in feeling, and it has an earth mther ambiance I really love.
beautiful work.
(and in acrylic too...i hate acrylics personally, I can only fingerpaint with them)
grin
good luck

Great Job it's beautiful...grape and garpito some of your best work

I love the use of color and the exposure of the uterus. The bi lateral use of day and night makes it feel like time is passing.

Hi, thanks for looking at my work and thanks for the feedback. This painting is a very personal expression of my spiritual feelings that I experienced when I was pregnant with my daughter. I felt connected to her on a higher plain. Gracias

Thank you for your review. That is exactly what I wanted to show, how mother and child are connected not soley in a physical since but in a spiritual un-ending cycle. Thanks again.

Comment from Papa
Diane, this has a stunning impact. It is very powerful piece of art. The figure is truly exceptional, very imaginative and creative in its representation of imminent birth. And, the background is absolutely beautiful with an awesome array of most appealing colours. Good luck in the contest. This should do well.
Peace, Papa

Excellent abstract painting The Mom's hair up represents to me that contractions have started and she has begun the pain process.

I love that comment about the hair. Birth does make your hair stand up like that mine did! haha Thanks

Comment from cbirdine
I love the concept of this, with the differing stages between the sun and moon which reminds us of the differing stages of life itself. Very well thought out and the picture itself is very well done too. Good work.
