My newest little portrait needs a name. Not a name for the model (her name is Emily) but a name for the painting itself that speaks of the emotions, thoughts or mood it evokes. At least, I HOPE it evokes something. To me, she looks a little sad or frightened but also defiant. Pensive, maybe. What do you think?
This was an experiment with a very limited palette, only 3 colors. I think this helped create the mood. She is 6×12 oil on gesso board. Happy Paint Party Friday!
The portrait is gorgeous. The word “longing” came to my mind, but I am the world’s worst at naming paintings, so I don’t name mine usually.
You know, I do like that!
Hopeful or faith would be what come to my mind. She is beautiful for sure!
Wow, I thought she was a photo at first. Gorgeous work.She looks deep in thought to me.And totally unrelated, but she looks like a Penny to me. Has nothing to do with her expression though.
Fantastic work, a wonderful portrait. Valerie
I would call it ‘Cloud Gazing’ as she looks like she’s looking up at the clouds looking for answers. Gorgeous portrait. Happy PPF
Beautiful
only 3 colours!? Wow, you did great! This is a beautiful portrait. “longing” seems like a great name for it! I often look at songlines to name my paintings. I have a whole list of possible titles, and whenever I finish a painting I search through that list until something jumps out to me and I know that that’s the perfect title…
Gorgeous painting. She looks very “pensativa” (in can’t think of the word in english) if she was thinking of her past with doubts on he mind.
Have a great day!
