Anyone who plays the guitar will immediately see that this little girl is left-handed and is forced to play the instrument upside down. The girl is a universal symbol of the handicaps we all have. We are all "different" in some ways.
Some of us come from the backgrounds of abuse. Some of us were born poor and are forever struggling to rid ourselves of impoverished self-esteem covered up by false confidence.
To treat these "handicaps" we must learn the art of love. In the painting the white goat embodies this love and stands by the little girl's side.
Like all true love the goat does not care if she is black, a female, poor or left-handed. The goat only knows that the music coming from the girl is very real and, to it's ears, very sweet.
If we did not receive this unconditional love as a child we must teach it to ourselves................we must be self-taught.
