Wonderful painting, tells about cultural traditions, and shows different characters, love the expressions on kids faces!

Fantastic image. I even recognize the Kedem bottle on the table. Well done - (but where are the kippot on the boys' heads??) ;-)
Phil Welsher replied:
Thank you Darlene. It was a Jewish day care, but not all the kids were Jewish and in this room they were all under 2 years old. Nobody was concerned about kipot.
