OK...so, I wanted to do something different and try a sort of abstract piece of art..it really didn't turn out how i had hoped...lol...but it was a learning experience non the less...although i must say my hubby likes it and he is usually hard to plase when it comes to the things i do...i wanted to show the love of a mother to her baby, but experiment a bit with colour...well..i did that, but i must say the best thing that came from this is Jacob started to do a painting...i inspired him...so, without further ado here is my mother's love...i am of course linking this to the party....the paint party friday hosted by eva and kristin...yay...
Thanks for all the beautiful comments to all that have come and popped in....it really makes my day, and so look forward to see what you think of my scrambled attempts at trying to art...xxx
until next time
lots of it

I really likes this - your pallet is both peaceful and warm and I think it communicates what you hoped for!
I think this is an amazing work of art. There are so many interpretations of it. Blessings, Janet PPF
this is sweet
a bit prayerful or present
quite lovely
This is great. It reminds me of a statue I saw in a park done some years ago in SO CAL. Very modern looking. Happy PPF and thanks for the lovely comment on my journal pages.
It does portray the love of a mother for her child. I quite like this abstract style. Well done!
She is lovely and her lines are so smooth and inviting. HPPF!

Just loving the jelly bean baby. Such a calm and wonderful artwork. Peaceful!
You did great and you inspired your kid. :) Awesome!
Yes it is certainly different! Its basic forms stripped of any flourish speaks to me of the purest love of a mother for her child. Patsy from

I love this! So tender. My husband prefers abstract art so any of my pieces more like that are his favorite.

It's beautiful, pure and honest and strong!
Aw, I love your jelly bean baby! heeheheh
For me, paintings rarely come as I imagine, so it is always a surprise, unless I am super closely following an image
I LOVE it! Valerie
Nice painting full of tenderness. Greetings.
Wonderful. This really reminds me of a sculpture we had when I was growing up.
Happy Painting.
I love it, and I think you accomplished your objectives!
One of the PPFers was saying that we should try to inspire someone every day, and that is exactly what you have done!
The concept is understood at first sight, which is a great success. Nice volumes and lovely colours.
It's beautiful Mandy. I think you did a wonderful job!! Happy PPF {late} :-)
I love this jelly bean baby, it's refreshing and simple.
So very very beautiful. a fabulous piece..shine on and keep shining..this is gorgeous and deeply meaningful..your piece carries a powerful presence that truly translates through!!Magical!

It's so sweet! I think it turned out very well. I know how you feel, I sometimes have a 'vision' but my hands don't see the same vision. ;) Great work! Happy PPF!
love your abstract piece!!! wonderful work!!! hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
A fun abstract modern piece. It's so important to try new things and step outside your comfort zone, well done for doing that.
Blue color is what struck me, first thing. The flow in the picture gives it an innocence! Lovely!
Thank you for visiting me. :)
Hi Mandy -- Thanks for leaving such a nice comment at Morning Dewdrops about my memorial flag. I like your piece because it is simple, so it is all about the colors, great shading and I wish I could take that background for a piece I'm working on right now. Also enjoying how y'all celebrate Anzac Day; So much fun to hear from people from all over the world. I hear from a good many people in Aussie. Blessings Terri
Mandy Originals! YESssssss. xoxoxoxo
This piece is wonderful! it's so full of love...one could feel!!! Love the hues...perfect piece and a perfect title!
Thanks for your visit and comment, means a lot to me:)
HPPF!
that backdrop of blue is so fluid, dreamlike, this is absolutely wonderful.
Wow, you've inspired me as well. I like the simplicity of it yet the depth of the message and feeling it brings (the colors complementing each other so nicely as well). How'd you manage to do all that with a simple painting??
