In Honor of TKPOT, I Bring You Another Installment of “The Art of Motherhood”
I have finally updated The Art of Motherhood. I know! Hooray!
This week, I chose a Caravaggio for three reasons.
First, no one makes a scarier Medusa, except maybe the director of Clash of the Titans. Because that was one scary Medusa to a little kid.
Second, after all this TKPOT talk, I needed to pick a little something that once again showcased what painting light really means. And people, it doesn’t mean yellow streaks out of another cottage window.
Third, I think this image accurately captures my facial expression du mois.
Go, check out this week’s rant about my children’s behavior Art of Motherhood.

That is an excellent Medusa. It really is terribly aggravating to have one’s head cut off, especially if one has just washed the floor. I think she is yelling at Hercules to at least put down some paper towels. Boys often have a hard time learning about consequences.
Incidentally, there are only about three reasons I want to visit Italy someday. The Uffizi is one of them. TKPOT, on the other hand (not to mention the danger of encountering whole herds of the sort of people who shop in his chain of “galleries”) is just one reason I avoid the local mall.

I adore you. That was hilarious!

Is it just me or does that Medusa look a bit like Johnny Depp?

Oh my god, it kinda does!
