And when I can’t create, I lose a little piece of myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting of a family of ducks I saw made me think about the mom and not just the plastic duckling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout my mom, who has always seen me clearly, even when I couldn’t see myself. About the way she loved me through every awkward, uncertain version of who I was becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd now, as I watch my own son grow, I understand that love in a way I never could before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is for the mothers who remind us we belong, even when we feel different. The ones who hold space for us until we can find our footing again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd selfishly, it’s also a celebration of finally painting again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo let this be your gentle reminder: you don’t have to earn love by fitting in. The right people will love you exactly as you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"554\" data-start=\"485\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA3 on 300gsm watercolour paper | landscape orientation \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artbymareli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51477265482023,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3254\/6343\/files\/Motherhood.jpg?v=1781073418","url":"https:\/\/artbymareli.co.za\/products\/a-mothers-love-a3","provider":"artbymareli","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
