grandma in satirical scene in front of winter landscape Painting

Specifics about the materials used: I painted this picture on paper using acrylic and egg tempera paint and marble powder with a self-mixed binder. Several sections have heavy impasto. The text on the bow says in English translation: "Why don't you paint in spring, when flowers are cheaper." There is an anecdote behind this painting which would easily explain this text, but I'd rather not tell it, for I wish the viewer to have a chance to guess for themselves what its meaning, in context of what's depicted in the painting, could be. Normally I do not make paintings that have a sort of pun behind them, an explanation which can be verbalised in order to tell what the picture "means". For me, the fundamental power or law of visual art is that it cannot be reduced to an intellectual understanding which could exhaustively express the meaning, value and existence of a visual artwork. If this is not the case, then I desists being art. Or: You paint it because you can't say it. Otherwise there would be no point doing it. Of course, one can analyse a painting or any visual artwork, talk about it, critise it, comment it and so on and so forth. But there must always remain a realm that stays inexpressible. Art, in order to be good, must have, in its core, a self-sufficient quality which language cannot penetrate.
