While the husband is away, the wife will play. An evening alone, while the kids lay asleep in their beds, led to this cheeky depiction of modern motherhood.  

Mum in a Pearl Earring – Resting between loads of washing, pearl earrings are the only thing remaining from Mum’s long day at work.

The Stream – Streaming Netflix, Mum ignores her daggy clothes and messy house, until she hears an unexpected knock at the front door.

Channeling Frieda – It takes some effort to hide the increasingly inconvenient signs of menopause.

Victorious – Mum ditches the sash and a tiara for a cross-body handbag and a pair of sunnies to cheer kids from the sidelines.

Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Frida Kahlo with Parrots, Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Whistler’s Mother Alexandra Bassano’s portrait of Queen Victoria.
