To me the family does not look happy, especially the kid who's sharing his attitudes to the listening mom. Love the image! Most expressive.

And such a happy family too, Dave. Families are as interesting as they are accidental. Nice composition. The kid appears to have his nose bent out of shape about something and can't stop talking about. Mom's about to spring into action. Or run off screaming. :)

Artist Reply: Lol ! thanks Charles , I was inspired by a very old photo of relatives on my mom's side of the family. You didn't mess with a woman wearing a babushka in those days and the fathers were stern , struggling providers . The kid , a long time before video games and smart phones , had to amuse himself with his imagination .
