On second thought, the fact that the face looks distorted also disturbs me. 

Honestly, whenever I see a piece of art that looks 'good' to me, I wonder how someone was able to create it because I really just do not understand. That's exactly how I feel about this painting as well.

The fact that she looks like she's siting and crossing her arms makes it seem like she's maybe holding a baby taking care of it even though I don't see a baby. Maybe she's trying to take care of a baby she's lost, and that's why she looks distorted.
