nameless

Well, after much to-ing and fro-ing, I finished it last night. For someone who has little patience for detail I found painting the dots strangely satsifying.

Once I’d started it was actually kind of hard to stop.

Here we are part of the way through.

Usually I find the title of a painting comes to me while I’m painting it; not so this one as it began life in my head as one thing {a woman in a huge dress} and then people started saying ‘is it a peacock?’ and ‘it looks like a veil’. I love that it could be many things but it makes naming it more difficult, and I flat out refuse to ‘name’ a painting ‘Untitled’. Just no.

{as yet untitled}

{mixed media on canvas}

{51 x 51 x 3.5cm}

For sale as soon as it has a title! {Otherwise I can’t make page for it.}

If you feel inspired by a name for this little number I would love to hear it! I’m thinking something ambiguous which allows the viewer to decide for themselves what they are looking at. What are the first things it makes you feel or think? Hit me with it people.
