Rene Leighty’s exhibit, “The Reality of Motherhood,” depicts the changes that occur in a women’s body that come naturally when having children. The artist describes her artwork as contemporary, expressive, dramatic, personal, and more importantly, demonstrates the reality of motherhood. “I used repetitive lines and shapes to display an appearance of movement and merged together a layering of multiple images in graphite and charcoal,” said Leighty. “The process is similar to the triple exposure technique in photography, with a repetition of recognizable body parts and overlapping imagery in my descriptions of a hectic life.”

Worship Allah and join not any partners with Him; and be kind to your parents…” [Noble Quran 4:36]
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ; Paradise lies under the feet of your Mother.
Although a prophet may not have come as a woman, all prophets were given birth by women, except the first prophet. I love my Mother, my mom means everything to me, not only did she give birth, she was my first teacher, my epitomy of true love and friendship, always keeps me in her heart and mind, worries for me without my knowledge. Loves me unconditionally and wants the best for me in world and hereafter. May Allah bless her always, and grant her Jannatul Firdaws. Words do not do her justice, thats how Great she is to me.
The post truly make me cry ahh nice post as always dear Maverick. ❤ ❤
