Love
I'm in a sappy mood today. William-Adolphe Bouguereau's sentimental paintings are perfect metaphors for love between mothers and children and siblings and fat, cuddly cherubs. Here then is my syrupy 19th-century contribution to this Monday's mute theme: Love.
William-Adolphe Bouguereau's academy paintings are easy to mock. Witness how many of his works have been altered on Worth 1000, a satire site.

I just spent a wonderful weekend with my daughter. Thank you for the lovely pictures. A mother and daughter are a special team. Even better, we are best friends.
Kisses
That boy had some painting talent. Some of the mockers do too!

They're also ravishing to look at in person (as it were). Lovley color, lovely paint quality. So who cares about a little sappiness....
Beautiful. Reminds me to enjoy my children while they are little, even as they drive me insane!

These are beautiful paintings. Thanks for sharing and happy Mute Monday. :)
just lovely ... I loved it. I have a painting of the two sisters and a matching vase... true love eh?
I'm a sucker for art and those are truly beautiful paintings. Great choices for Mute Monday :)
Stunning.
Brings to mind one of my very favorite paintings: The Calmady Children by Thomas Lawrence.
I would pay a fortune for it.
