When you give someone a gift of artwork that you made yourself and you don't see your artwork hanging up, that should be enough of a clue.
There isn't really a polite way to tell someone, thank you for giving this to me, but I'd really rather you keep it because there's no way I'm ever going to hang it up in my house.
You told her you did not have a place for it, and that should have been sufficient for her to get the hint.
Continuing to insist that she herself was going to help find a place to hang it was rude and invasive.
Why are we not okay with mother-in-laws telling daughter-in-laws how to decorate, but suddenly we're okay with daughter-in-law deciding how the mother-in-law should decorate?
If this person is old enough to be married, she is old enough to have the maturity to recognize that not everyone on the planet is going to enjoy her work.
Mother-in-law wasn't rude in the least, but as soon as daughter-in-law tried overruling her and insisted on finding a place to hang it, daughter-in-law absolutely crossed a line.
We don't have any other updates yet from OP.
OP even says like, it doesn't matter if my son painted like this.
Actually, I would have a conversation about why he is drawing women like this.
Why are you painting women like Jessica Rabbit?
