Full description

A psychedelic-looking backglass in a wooden frame, with a border of wavy rainbow stripes radiating out in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. On the left two columns of rounded pills carry scores: 100,000 up to 900,000 in the wide column and 10,000 to 90,000 in the narrow one, each pill a different colour (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) with white numerals. A purple arc of teardrop-shaped lights runs round the right, numbered 1000 to 9000, with small white stars. Inside the arc, on a bright blue sky, is a cursive white title Rainbow with a small italic word above it, and a double rainbow arch. Below it a smiling blonde woman with curled hair, red lipstick and a red off-the-shoulder blouse and skirt stands in a green wheat field with rolling hills. Some paint is chipped at the bottom.
