4.20.10
Working on an oil painting last night, I was left with some leftover paint. I used to have a canvas where I used my leftovers. But last night I just had paper. This is what resulted : a front image and a side image of a very pregnant woman. It can't be me...the farthest I ever made it was 30 weeks, so I don't know what being "really really" pregnant is like. I guess it's the stage everyone seems to struggle through (understandably so), but the stage I wish I could have made it to for the sake of having Lyra that much longer.

I really like this. I have been that "really really" pregnant and the impatience haunts me. Being so done, so ready for that baby to come out. Getting testy and cranky. Oh god I wish I could take that back. To sit in peace with my body and my baby while they changed and took their own sweet time.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely. The colors and texture are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI remember those overly full days and shake my head at how I begged for Liam to just be born already! I wish I would have savored those days more fully, not just wished them away. I am thankful, now of course, that Liam was in my body for so long.
As always, your art is beautiful and full of emotion.

ReplyDeleteAnd I went to that blog you linked in your last post. Very nice. glad you found it, thanks for passing it along.
It's a beautiful piece of artwork. You are very talented and I'm glad that through your honesty and creativity, we can find blessing here.
ReplyDeleteoh, this gorgeous piece gave me such an emotional jolt - hope, sadness, and appreciation all at the same time. just beautiful.
ReplyDeletei loved being this big, its when you are so tight and your stomach skin is so stretched that you can see body parts when they move. feet ,knees , elbows...... this is a beautiful painting xxx anne
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so nice to see as I read back in your blog...knowing that you soon will be so big and full. I remember that phase with my first 2 babies. I remember delighting in my likeness to goddess images I had seen - so round and heavy chested...Yes, it was uncomfortable, but a prideful roundness...I loved swimming in the lake when I was that big with my eldest. When you are in the water, your tummy is weightless. It was amazing.
