Happy Day at Grandmother’s
This is another painting of Craig’s fondness for everyday life. This painting is entranced four characters that are grandmother, and three children. Background of painting is a sweet home. Grandmother is giving white cookie to a boy. And then, two children who are a boy and girl are peeking furtively in through a door. In 1940, this painting was painted by tempera on paper. This painting is similar the realism from viewpoint of real describes. When moment I saw it, I thought that it is the same ‘Hengel and Gretel’. Actually, even if grandmother is smiling and title is Happy Day at Grandmother’s, I felt that the boy who took a cookie from grandmother is scared.
