Mom hung a mass produced art print on my bedroom wall when I was about 8. It's of a little girl holding her puppy.
Cute, right?
Thing is, this painting terrified me. And I was raised in the time where you just kind of swallowed any complaints and didn't bother mom or dad with kid foolishness.
Here is a copy of the thing I actually had hanging on my wall. This same frame. Probably came from Service Merchandise or some such.
What in the everloving hell is lurking just over her shoulder?!?! To me it always looked like a skull wearing a hat on the side of his head, like a little old timey jaunty hat a clown would wear.
It's a wonder I got any sleep. I was too afraid to tell mom I hated it. I never considered that I possessed the agency to take it off my wall and hide it at the bottom of the closet.
I think of this cursed painting still.
Did you ever have something in your childhood that unnecessarily scared the bejeezus out of you?
Which shoulder is the skull over? I'm looking for it
Ahhh, okay. I kinda sorta saw the skull, but I kept looking for the hat and the right side (where the hat is) blended in with the frame so I kept looking on the left and couldn't see anything
Thanks!
I think the lighter area in the upper right corner of the painting. I can kinda see it. It'd be over the girl's left shoulder at about 2 o'clock.
Same here. Does anyone know what OP is talking about?
They posted a picture in reply to me if you wanna check the thread for it :)
I found the comment. Thank you. comment
