Visual description

Jay Daly paints a large, happy mouse character named Chelsea, who is the wife of Chucky Cheese, the animatronic character of the famous franchise. Standing at the center of the piece, which measures about 18 inches by 24 inches, the mouse is situated against bare white paper. She stands with her arms at her sides, smiling broadly. Much of the mouse's body is gray, her arms and legs, the upper half of her face, and her circular ears. Her ears also have large, pink centers. Her eyes are made up of bright green circles over white squares, situated under blue, half-domed eyelids or perhaps eyeshadow. The lower half of her face is pink, and her grinning mouth is slightly open, showing its red interior and two bright white front teeth. Her nose is a solid black, solid circle, with three long black whiskers growing from either side. All her body parts and pieces of clothing are outlined in black. More black lines are used to indicate details such as the curve of her ears, the shape of her breasts, and the curve of her cheeks. On her head, between her ears, sits a bow of red circles against the white background. She wears a dress made up of matching red circles that reaches from just below her jaw down to her knees, creating a slightly A-line form. The puffed sleeves of her dress are white with black outlines, and under her dress she wears a ruffled-edge white petticoat or pants. Her shoes are yellow, and her feet are turned out, facing left and right. The overall appearance of this image leaves the viewer with the impression that the mouse is happy and proud.
