Delightful portrait of Black African American ladies in their finery. Primitive, Impressionist, Expressive, delightful - rich in detail. Exquisite color palette, masterfully detailed. Bold brush work, generous application of paint, splashy flowers in background, vibrant red lipstick on each lady / woman. Mixed media - the artist even incorporated pink tissue paper and what appear to be bits of doily paper into the paint to give added dimension to flower bouquet! The lady on the left appears to be holding a book open one her lap. Perhaps they're singing; their mouths are open.
