At the risk of appearing to self-aggrandize, I submit today's Illustration Friday piece as an HOMAGE to all mothers. And especially to those stay at home moms who, like myself, at times feel like a glorified chauffeur. We may not bring home a paycheck, but let's remind ourselves that ours is a job done, often without any thanks, but, with a great deal of love and merit.

Hi Nancy...I love your homage...Being a stay at home Mom is one of the hardest jobs ever...it is also one of the greatest rewarding jobs ever...I love it!

I was a stay at home Mom as well (loved my job), though it's a hard one. Great collage, perfect tribute.
I love how you made this tribute to mothers through the image of these little girls already mothers in the heart!!!
Great piece, Nancy. Hurray for Moms!
What a lovely homage and piece - wonderful!
Perfect homage! Enough can't be said for good mothers :) I love that you chose "future" moms for your collage!
This is simply beautiful! Your collages are great and I'm sure your children appreciate you and the wonderful sense of beauty, I'm sure you've endowed them with! I'm sure you're a wonderful mom, if your work is any indication! Great Job! Yeah to the Moms of the world!

This is so fun! I loved play with my dolls when I was small. You work is always wonderful!
Wonderful sentiment! I can remember with PASSION being in that car from 2pm until 6.
Your collages always say so much. And you have a unique style that captures attention. I always love the muted tones and shadings.
Some of these mothers look like they have :had a day:
Beautiful collage Nancy. Perfect homage too!
This is great stuff Nancy! Moms make the world go round!
Lovely illustration Nancy, and yes, we, mothers, do deserve it!

their expressions are priceless, great homage, moms, where would we be with out them:)
Nancy,
I had not seen yours before mine! Wonderful!! You expressed exactly my thoughts!!! And you know what else, looking back at the many things I have been able to accomplish in life, I have loved being "mum" more than any other.
An important homage and great characters in your collage!
I'm not yet mom but somewhat I can understand your thought. I can only imagine to be mom would be such a sanctuary thing. Your art is very charming btw.
I just love your work! So unique and special. Love the colors.
From one stay at home mom to another, thank you!
Love your style, I'm new to your blog but I know I will visit often.
Your works are always great, give tribute to mom and dad who take good care of their pets too.
I'm off to visit my mom right now. I'll make sure she sees your homage to mothers. I'm not a mom myself, but I have the utmost respect, appreciation and awe at how much y'all do. My hats off to you.
Great collage, of course! Fits perfectly.
How I love your collages!!! They mesmerize and comfort me. Your color choices and images are wonderfully rich. Thanks for sharing your talent Nancy.
