Description of Painting or Photo:
On the left of this thickly-painted work, we see a mother and grandmother relaxing on one side of a large bed with a gray, ornate headboard in a bedroom. The bed covering has different shades of green stripes. To the right of the bed, there is a little girl (age six or seven) dancing around in one of her mother’s red, sheer nightgowns. She is lifting up part of the nighty to expose her chest, where you can subtly see a scar that runs horizontally across her chest area through the sheer part of the fabric. The mother is watching her little girl do this and pointing at her with a white cartoon hand. Everyone’s face in this painting is twisted and distorted, and the colors of the furnishings, carpet, end tables, and lamps are from the 1970s.
