Please click on my link to see 4 pictures of a framed piece of art my mum owns. (I know they are not brilliant photos of it but I really don't want to take it from behind the glass etc, sorry!). Can anyone name the artist or the picture?

All help much appreciated,

Many thanks in advance

Mitchell

I am using a tablet just now and haven't the patience to check properly. But if you follow these instructions you may find it.

Find the clearest photo.
Right click on it.
Use the search by Google option.
You should find yourself in a Google search result page.
Hopefully one of the results will help you in your quest.
If not then, hopefully, someone who knows about art will be along soon.

Yes tried that first - not found. Anymore suggestions anyone?
I tried that too but got nothing. What is really weird is I know I've see those pictures before and I thought it was on here last year some time.
Question Author
that's weird, I've never put it on before! Ho Hum? Please try to remember name! : )
I'm having a good hunt round the internet as I'm intrigued now, but nothing yet. However, I've just noticed in the first photograph, the girl in blue on the left looks like she's trying to get your attention by tugging on your Pyjamas lol :-)

I take it that there is no signature visible?
Is it a print or an oil painting? if the latter it would have slightly raised- modelled surface rather than a dead flat one.
Would it be possible to scan it? It looks to be at a strange angle to me - or is it me?
Question Author
oh dear, thank you so much guys, next time im home with mum at easter I'll try to take another photo of it not in the glass, (and look whether it's oil etc) Got to get all the way home to derby now! Ill message you all again if you subscribe to let u know when ive been able to photograph it again (funny angle was me trying not to get a shadow!!) night guys!
There's a copy in this article, but no indication of artist or source. Possibly a better image though.
