Maternity Art- Learning to Love the Pregnant Form

I feel a little ashamed to admit this.  But even though I love pregnancy and birth and think that pregnant women are gorgeous, I don't actually apply those thoughts to ME.  So while pregnant I have very few pictures of myself.  I always just feel fat.

This weekend I saw these amazing maternity paintings.  I wanted to share them with you.  If I had the money I would LOVE to have something like this of me- beautiful, pregnant, but no cellulite. (Not that there is anything wrong with cellulite.  I love it on other people.  Just not me.)

(If you really LOVE these, they are actually for sale.  400 each and the artist is located in Dallas and is a University of Dallas graduate.  They are both 24x30.  The top one is acrylic and the bottom one is oil.  These would be perfect for a birth center or a midwifery office.  She also takes commissioned pieces and can paint from a photo.  You can contact her at 972.824.3015)
