TWO SISTERS

Good morning, folks.  This is a pen and watercolor scene I did which, as you see, is called Two Sisters.  It makes me think of two sisters; one pregnant and living paycheck to paycheck, and the other living a more luxurious lifestyle.  The affluent one comes to visit the other and their mother joins their conversation taking place by the fence in the backyard of the pregnant sister.  Across the fence, in the background, you can see "the city" which the "uppity" sister calls home.  Standing beside the mudpuddle, the pregnant sister seems to be observing her mother and sister with hard, reality-based eyes.  "There she goes again," she seems to be thinking.  My intent was to create the city mouse/country mouse meeting and I decided to add the mother for the artistic tension as well as the natural tension that exists in families sometimes.  What do you think?  Thanks for tuning in.
