This is a painting of young Black girl. She is standing in the middle of the painting shielding her eyes. The background of the painting is a bright yellow, like a highlighter -perhaps this is the brightness the girl is covering her eyes from. She has long, thin braids that go down past her shoulders. She is wearing a purple sundress with pink hearts, and neon green. blue, and red flowers.

An enormous and complex multi-figure painting set in an African-American beauty salon/beauty academy. Mirrors in the painting are outlined in glitter, which Marshall applies to the surface in a gel medium. The painting’s unstretched canvas surface has grommets running along its outer perimeter. The painting hangs on screws threaded through the grommets. The composition ends just short of the support’s outer edges.

This is a very large painting. The entire top half of the painting is yellow. The yellow has different shades where the artist soaked the canvas in diluted yellow paint. So you can see the layers of paint building up on the canvas. The very bottom of the painting is a triangular shape of purple, repressing a mountain, then a little sliver of green at the bottom right and a little sliver of white on the bottom left.
