Description
It's the universal sign for "quiet!" ... just a simple gesture, but it is loaded with meaning. In fact, it can mean a lot of things: please be quiet so that I can hear myself think; be quiet so we can all calm down, don't wake the baby.... or "Shh It's a Secret!"
..............................................................................................................................
You can make the "sh" sound or not, the meaning is still there. Just put your finger in front of your mouth and give it a try! Whether it's a teacher signalling her students to stop talking or a friend waiting for silence so that she can tell a secret, the index finger held in front of the mouth is understood in any language.

This painting was done on a black canvas and then enhanced digitally. The look is modern, white contrasting against the black background. The red lips are as striking as they are beautiful. Perhaps there is even a hint of a smile as she covers her lips with her finger. Maybe she is about to tell about a secret love, to share that she is pregnant, to whisper to you what she bought her little boy for Christmas... it must be quiet before one can share a whispered secret, you know.
...................................................................................................................................
Shh! That's my favorite song and I want to hear every word. Shh! I want to tell you a scary story. Shh! Don't talk. Just listen. Sh!! I'm going to whisper and you need to be quiet so that you can hear me. Shush!

This painting is available in a wide range of sizes. It can be purchased on canvas, as a matted and framed print, an unframed print (you frame it when it arrives), an acrylic or metal print, a poster, or as cards. Fine Art America ships within three days of purchase.

Shh!! Did you hear me? Shh!! What?
