Three Muses - Footprints


I did two pieces for Ann's footprints challenge -- one whimsical, and one thoughtful.  For the first, I couldn't resist a silly play on words.  The second is a family photo and, when I first saw it, I immediately cropped it to just the feet.  There's something about the tiny feet beside Dad's that tugs at my heartstrings.  I felt the quote was appropriate as well.   Thanks for indulging me!

  1. oh this is adorable. Both pieces Bev. How true is the second pice you did.

    I dont have the dainty girly feet ever like my tiny Mom had.

    I guess that is why I became first prize runner in my class to in my school, broadjumping as well.With very long legs after my dad. Tallest in my class.

    Only beauty in the beholder I say.

    Excellent pieces Bev.

  2. Bev, go to the top of the class as Queen of the Pun. "Someday my prints will come"? That has to be the funniest and most apt pun ever - not to mention the fabulous illustration!! A great piece.
    I love your second picture too. It is thoughtful and oh so true. Touching and beautifully done.

  4. Oh, Bev, I love the pun in the first one which has me laughing out loud. And then I see the second piece and it is beautiful, both in its imagery and the aptness of its quote. I hope you can hear the applause coming all the way from the UK.

  8. That is too funny! And awesomely illustrated!

    The message of the second one is something too many parents seem to forget. It reminds me of the time a former neighbor forced her daughter to eat a cigaret, because she was caught smoking. However, the mother was smoking a cigaret while punishing her daughter. Unbelievable!
