Description
From a mother to her child, love will bloom like dew in the night; soft, unspoken, but nourishing in its gentle embrace.

From one mother to one soon-to-be, I dedicate this to ~safiah , who has been there for me through more than I can say, and who means the world to me. Congratulations sweetheart, once again, and I wish you nothing but love and luck.

And ~PhilipMatthews for letting me use this background ([link] ) to create this. People like him makes the world a better place with their generosity and willingness to share, and I am in his debt for not only letting me use one of his images, but two.

Thank you again, Philip.

Ah, lets see. The sky was *resurgere s handiwork; I just manip'd the size and color a bit, blurred it here and there, then blended it into the previous background. The light filtered in was hand-made by myself, one ray at at time. The big pegasus (symbolizing Safiah on some strange level) origionally had all four feet on the ground, but with some cutting and pasting, rotating, duplicating and otherwise smudging/fudging, it's now on its two hind legs in a half rear. I thought about making the far fore pawing upward more and the near fore curving in towards its body, but decided that I wanted a calmer appearance to help compliment the foal behind it. The foal itself was origionally palomino, and with three out of four hooves on the ground, though with its dam rearing as she is before him I couldn't have him doing much less than he is now. I didn't want to overdo the action with him either, which is why I kept it small.

And I know, the turtle is origionally a land-based one, but he was -so- cute that I couldn't pass him up. And he's.. kind of.. on land in the picture...

Oh well. I had fun doing this dev.

Total time approx 5.5 hours, on and off. (Mother of two kids 3 and under doesn't leave much time to sit and work undisturbed. )

Thank you for viewing!
