I see a child painting a tree house, and that is how he saw it in his mind. The trunk of the tree, and then limbs and then you can see the small door, and them things look like eyes, they is maybe his small friends. I see actually peace in this room, no matter the decayed look.

I like this pic, kind of has a soft rose hue to it, very pretty

wow that is beautiful architecture!!!! I am speechless, you really do not see such beauty in many facilities these days.

Hrmmph...Its a carousel folks. Nothing is amiss here. If anything you could make an argument that the horse is pursuing the lion! Since they are both carousel animals and the horse is behind the tiger. Way too much is read into what are simple pictures. In this case a common carousel combination...elephants, horses, tigers, and perhaps...in the background a Kangaroo.

It looks like Dopey escaped. He must have seen those horrible pictures in the basement playroom and gotten himself peeled away FAST!!!

This is so disturbing! An older inmate had to have drawn these things--either that or someone working real hard to become an inmate. All of the paintings in this play room from hell are scary but this one is above and beyond all hope of reason.
First of all why are all the normal kids looking away from the viewer? Doesn't that seem strange?
Secondly why is the girl in the wheelchair hidden in the back and so very faded out? It's like she's a ghost. If someone else hadn't mentioned her I wouldn't have seen her.
Finally what the hell was wrong with the person who drew this? Look at the eyes, they are non-exsistant; just gaping black holes where the eyes should be.
Whoever painted these needed to get their head checked ASAP.
Those poor children in this room--I bet there was a high suicide rate among them as they got older.

Okay there is something definitely amiss here. Look at the painting: why does that horse appear to being savagely attacked by that lion as the elephant looks on gleefully?
Whoever drew these things DID NOT like children.

Who the hell drew that thing? Okay maybe it was supposed to be a ginerbread house--I'm sure that is exactly what the artist told the supervisors that's what he was drawing but obviously some of thing was done with malicious intentions. That thing looks WAY too much like a monster to appear to be anything else.
Seriously I think we had a bit of a disguntled artist here. Maybe they didn't pay him (or her) enough money so artist went on a pianting rampage; punishing the kids for something that was the employers fault.
What a pleasant and uplifting thought, huh?

that is crazy, looks like this is stainless steel? interesting how the glass or plasic cover that protects the light is not discolored or growing some sort of science experiment on it....

that is dopey, he is my favorite seven dwarf!! 8-)

I will never look at candy cane lane the same, that picture is creepy8-0
