No. 3
2006
A young girl with brown hair and large purple eyes gazes directly outward while wearing a bright red dress and matching pointed party hat marked with the number 3. She holds two yellow party poppers or noisemakers in her hands, positioned as if ready to celebrate. The figure is rendered in a distinctly childlike style with simplified forms and soft coloring, set against a neutral cream background. The composition captures a moment of innocent anticipation, combining elements of celebration with an almost melancholic quality characteristic of the artist's aesthetic.
