Story / Additional InfoEdges are painted in grey paint. This painting tells a story related to an old blues song about love, betrayal, three women and one man, the harmonica player on the right. There are elements from other works of the artist's such as the eggs, the flame on the left, the leaping cheetah, the striped cloth, the red door and the red line across the center. The painting was done when the artist was having a personal crisis and not sure about her painting career. She included the paint brushes as a symbol of this conflict (also mirrored in the relationships between the three women and the man). The artist plays harmonica and is a blues lover and often paints to music. There is mystery here also- the white ghostly shapes in the middle- the artist often paints narrative works but likes for the viewer to incorporate their own version of the story.
