My friend’s children have a secret code with their mother. When her children come to her or call on the phone saying, “Mom this is something I really really want!” Mother knows it’s code for, “I’m with friends and don’t know how to get out of doing this activity but it doesn’t seem like a good idea. Please say. ‘No!'”

The painting below called, White Ellie, Jane, Clara and Sam and the Secret Code. It has two themes, one is about contrasts; warm/ cool,  dark/ light,  dull colors and the tiny bit of bright yellow,  rounded/ and the tiny bit of straight lines, dull surface/ shinny plastic discs on the frame and three line of four shinny clear spots over the picture itself.

The second theme is a story about three trees growing in a row, three hills in a row and children standing behind White Ellie on a tree.  nancymauerman.com
