A GIFT OF LIFE

A GIFT OF LIFE A mom is gods luv in action She looks with her heart and feels with her eye's A mom is a bank accout where her children deposit all their hurt and fears A mom is the cement that keeps her family together and her luv last's a lifetime ... Hi all this piece was painted about 4 and haf years ago and i will never in my lifetime part with it ...it started off as a design piece for an interior my sisters were working on... it was painted in a lanscape format... on finishing my days work on this piece i stood it upright to dry off and left it alone ...when i returned to do the finishing work on this piece this is the image that was before me ...i highlighted what was already there and as u can now see this was the result .... three weeks later i found out i was expecting my 7th baby ....which was a total and utter shock... as i didnd need any more blessing's from god.. haha anyway we were blessed once more so now u know why i can never part with this piece i think it was a message the god lord was sending me to soften the blow ...so 2 speak haha ...hope u like it as much as i do .....the meaning i took from this was .... yes maybe it was a shock in my life 2 have another baby but there is light at the end of the tunnel and the babe in my womb was golden and special as u moms out der will notice most about this babe in the womb his head is not in the birth position ..and the strange thing was neither was my son he was born in the breech position ...tnxs all for havin a look... cheers linda dont no whether im the mom or the artist on this piece haha xxxxxxxxx

A very profound, intimate and enduring image Linda.

This image without the narative is stunning & warm like all your work the love shines out from the canvas. Add the narative & no amount of money could ever part this work from you. If you ever tried to sell it & I could afford the asking price I'd pay you & give it back to you as a Gift.

What an amazing story and image, Linda!!! I can understand how you could never part with this wonderful picture!! 7 kids????? You look like a "kid" yourself!!! LOL

Wonderful essay to accompany the work. I love that others, like yourself, think that signs are around us if we look. I also see the light as the beginning of the journey. It keeps drawing me into the top right hand corner of your painting. I'm sure it has a place of honour in your house. Beautiful. Take Care, Linda. Thank you for sharing. Elke

julie Marks 12 Mar 2007

Your painting is beautiful and I love the narrative. It adds so much to some photos to include the writing, especially given this touching and truly amazing story. I am a mom and I had dreams that my baby would also be in the wrong position;we call these precognitive dreams. I was not surprised to find that my dreams as many unsconscious messages revealed the truth. I love the story and imagine you were blessed with a golden child. You must be a very busy lady!!
