Spot the Nursing Mom

My employer owns a vast painting collection.  My officemate and fellow breastfeeding advocate Claire belongs to the department who manages the paintings. She compiled several paintings depicting breastfeeding moms and emailed me her collection.  Can you spot the nursing mom?  I already have several breastfeeding photos thanks to Stan but I would love to have a breastfeeding painting!  Calling The Painter's Wife!

    This is really inspiring and a really amazing collection.  Especially now when everyone is unfamiliar with it.  I hope you don't mind my tweeting and sharing this!
