what is the art saying to the viewer?

I chose the oil painting located on this website.http://tommcmahon.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834515db069e2011168456216970c-800wi.It is an oil painting, made in china. In the oil painting there are a young women and a young child sitting outside on the grass. The young child is naked. The young woman is holding some kind of fruit in her hand, maybe a peach.
I believe the artist is trying to show us a mother – daughter relationship. Like, the special bond that they share. That it is a beautiful thing. I think this because the painting is very bright and has a happy feeling to it. The setting contributes to the painting’s mother –daughter relationship. This is because the young women and child are in a secluded area. The fact that they are alone in the painting, I think intensifies there relationship.
This painting I believe could be for any audience. It’s a painting open for interpretation. Like, it does not clearly state certain emotions. Each audience will probably have their own view and ideas about what they think this painting represents. The younger the audience the less analyzed the interpretation would be.
