I can't remember if it was here or when I was posting at WebSleuths, but there was some discussion about certain elements of Patsy's abstract painting. It was pointed out that a dark area on the right side of the head matched the location of JonBenet's skull injury and that a bright yellow patch on the neck matched the location of the bruise on the left side of JonBenet's neck.

In addition, it looks like what appears to be a "broken heart" with a white squiggly line transecting it diagonally from SW to NE. The triangular yellow patch below the left eye is suggestive of a teardrop.

Yes, Cherokee, I remember something about this. I guess this may be the one. Actually, Patsy could have got rid of it after she had released all these emotions. It meant something to her personally, but I can't see a painting like this doing anything for anyone else. I won't even bother searching for this other painting which was in my head, because this post you have just made is bringing it all back. You're right!

Thank you, Cherokee!

Abstracts are not for everyone. You can have fun with shapes and colours, and everyone sees something different in it. Turn it every which way too.

I have a large one on my wall that my youngest son did in his art class at high school, and I have fun with this one on a regular basis.

It was definitely a woman and I remember the painting being in my parents home as far back as the 70-80s (maybe even late 60s'.) It could have been a painting my step-dad did in an art class for that matter. I just remember it as really fugly.

Also, certain colors represent certain times - at least to me. You know how homes were decorated in black and pink, then avocado green was real big. Early 70's were ice tones then later we moved to earth tones and so on. I may be focusing on that but... Belle had her colors grouped around the house and this painting was on the wall behind a glass case that held all her orange and brown glass ware and vases so it kind of blended in. She was good at that type of thing.

Hahahahaha! Hope you didn't tell your step-dad it was fugly. Some people spend hours on their paintings and then they have to hear people telling them their fugly, and their feelings are hurt. I don't really care. You have to be prepared for that. I can take it from my family and friends. I never sold them.

In Scotland I was brought up with wallpaper on the walls, so these are probably American homes you're talking about above JR (?). Wallpaper is very popular here in Canada at the moment, or a mixture of paint on one wall, paper on another.

I'm glad Cherokee posted about Patsy's painting above. Now it won't bother me any more. RiverRat's delicate colours above were so much better, don't you think? Won't buy her a mansion though.

My step-dad has passed on and of course I would have never hurt his feelings nor been so rude. In fact I don't think the term fugly entered my vocabulary until after his passing. You have to remember, he had the ability to ground me and I hated being grounded so I watched my P's and Q's (and mouth) around him. I more than likely would have told him it was "unique," if I said anything at all.

That was nice and considerate of you, JR. Sorry you had to lose him. It's nice you show respect for him. You're right, Fugly is just a new word, and I was thinking in terms of right now, not thinking along the terms that he was gone, but maybe changing house (?). It seems you were very well brought up JR.
