Beautiful poems and pictures! I think he felt sorry for the mother in the first picture and gave her some pillows to rest on. Or the husband came in and slipped a pillow under her head.
Yes, I love to image the tenderness of someone slipping the pillows under her head Though I also imagine the painter painting the one with the pillows first and then deciding the painting was more powerful without the pillows. Either way, I pity the poor model who had pose with her head like that. But it's very familiar as well, I know I've fallen asleep in super awkward positions when I was that baby-exhausted.
Your words brought his work to life! Brilliant.
Thank you!

Watching my wife care for our daughter has changed my life. There will always be poetry in the interactions of a mother and child.
As a mother I find it hard to disagree with that. Thanks for reading and commenting, Zane.
