...and its a really nice painting. The clothes, background, hair, etc are all done quite well. It really is well done.

Except for the face. It looks absolutely nothing like my daughter.

She did this for a Christmas present for us. She comes to out house kinda frequently as she lives right around the corner and sometimes watches our daughter for us.

What would you do? I don't want to hang this in our house. Do we hide it in a corner somewhere? This is so awkward.

Don't be a dick, hang it up. If your daughter asks just tell her that's what she was supposed to look like.

This is something that would only happen to you.

Stash it somewhere that you can get to it in a hurry. Find another picture/painting of the same size. Hang the picture that you do like and anytime she's coming over just swap them out until she leaves then put it back up.

Hang it in your daughter's room. Out of sight, out of mind. When she comes over, point it out to her.

Funny situation

She painted one of her own granddaughter too and its freaking perfect. She absolutely nailed her face. She really is a talented painter.

I have no idea what happened.

Your only option is to burn down your house and say the painting was lost in a fire

That's funny. Maybe tell her it's up in your daughters room? Out of sight out of mind.

If you wanna get technical you could just burn the painting and still claim it was lost in a fire.
