Yeah, I've definitely seen that painting before. And there was a caption or comment about how it looked like he was supposed to be holding a knife in his hand or something. Ring a bell for anyone else?

(Twilight Zone music builds) It looks familiar to me too.....weird-o. Thank you Birdy for the remark about the knife, I thought I was the only one to notice that it looks like the boy had been holding a knife, perhaps to stab the dog with? And doesn't it look like they are sitting in a puddle of pee?
I'm sure Lynn or someone else could have a field day just examining my remark,lol, but seriously, this is one picture with just SO much going on, on so many levels.
And that tail! Looks like a fiddlehead fern or something.

I always wonder what people were thinking of when they decorated these places. It does look like his one hand is kind of awkward, almost like it was changed? Hmmm....

All I could picture was the boy's right hand (with the thumb up) looks like he could be holding a lighter (which is invisible of course); ready to light the dog's party hat on fire and shoot off fireworks. Its almost 5am amazing what sleep deprivation does for one's mind.

Everytime I look at the photos, I read the comments, then go back to see what I've missed...

Argh, this is really bugging me. Where HAVE we all seen this painting before? I've tried googling "boy dog painting hospital" and all sorts of combinations involving asylum, mental, knife, etc. I'm so sure I've seen a photograph like this before, and somebody commented on the boy's hand holding an object. I just wish I could find it! It would be so odd if the same painting had been photographed in another hospital. Is the name of this hospital an alias? Because nothing comes up when I google it.

Indeed, this is definitely the same hospital . I called it Hospital X on my site ( http://www.forbidden-p...ploration-hospital-X ) , while Opacity calls it 'Northam Manor'

That's exactly it! It's even got that comment about the knife that I remembered. Thanks for that link, Peter. It was driving me nuts.

The painting of the hand is a different style from the rest of the painting. To me it looks like it was added on after the original was long completed.

I don't know why but finding paintings like this in insane asylums creep me out.

To respond to some of the questions, the knife in the hand thing was from forbidden-places.com. The dog's teeth are also a bit to sharp to just be playing, dont ya think?

yes finding it in an asylum like this is pretty creepy. Was it for the pedophiles that like to look at little boys?

The kid dropped the rock he WAS holding in his hand behind the dogs head. Maybe the ghost of the kid did the kitty in.

Saw it on.. What was it, I dont remember, another site too. Creepy... Littlee boy about to stab the happy dog. Is that suppose to make the patients feel better? Some kind of strange treatment?

I didnt notice, in the exact same picture, I saw some time ago, the kid was holding a knife, as if ready to stab the dog.

Yes! I know where now, on .. Abandoned Places I think! Where you can actually see the knife, and he's about to stab the dog!

I wonder what all those creepy paintings in the asylums did for the treatment of the patients.. Looking at that always would make me go insane.
