I finally finished this painting. I have been working on her in my spare time for about a week now. She is my vision of the beautiful Virgin Mary. I am not sure about what to title the painting. My hubby likes "Serenity". I have toyed with titling her "Blessed", "Peace", "Harmonious", "Blessed with Serenity"(my son Matt's favorite title), "Tranquillity" and "Serene". Please HELP!!! If you feel something, or have an idea for a title.........please share with me. I am searching for just the right title. It is so funny that sometimes the hardest part is titling my paintings.......lol!
She is on a thick gallery canvas. I used a special crackle on the background and the edges of the canvas.
I love the subtle and aged effect of the crackle paint. I want to put her on Etsy this weekend if I can get the time, if not maybe Monday.
My wonderful hubby bought me two rose bushes last year. I so enjoyed all the roses last year. I noticed yesterday evening they were blooming. The pink rose bush smells so wonderful!
This is a Swarovski Crystal Butterfly my hubby bought me. It is so beautiful in the light. I LOVE it!Please my BEAUTIFUL, CREATIVE, ARTSY blogger friends help me with the title to my painting. I appreciate all of your sweet comments!
HAPPY DAY!!!
Hello beautiful Nina, well let me firstly just say that your painting is stunning and the crackle really looks excellent on the background and edges. The moment I saw the painting I thought "wow, how gentle and soft and serene she is" so I really love the "Serentity" title, although all the other titles you mentioned sound excellent too - how about "Serent Beauty" (but I am a shocker at titles, struggling to name my own paintings lol). Whatever you decided, I think this beautiful lady will be snapped up quick on Etsy! Keep well, chat soon, hugz Val
ReplyDeleteP.S. you are a lucky girl to have a hubby who gives you such lovely gifts (I just love the butterfly)...
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed-maybe call her Serena,she is beautiful and so serene looking.

I'm a sucker for longish titles. Like, 'The essence of serenity' like she is the source of it. She's beautiful too I like the colours you've used.
ReplyDeleteHi Beauty!!! I she truly does emit such a sense of comfort and the look on her face glows in such a serene way, I vote for a title using "Serenity" or "Mother of Peace", or "Goddess of Serenity"...yes...so very lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina! Your painting is gorgeous! I like Serene...sounds peaceful.:)

ReplyDeleteMadonna's thoughts....
I am horrible at naming things. As you can tell.
Happy day to you dear lady and many more blessings.

I love the crystal. My husband got me a red one for valentines day this year. They are exquisite!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is so wonderful Nina. When I look at it I think of Mary, "Mother of Jesus". She is beautiful.

I love your title choices so far, but I love the word PONDER for her , too. It is such a great gift to "ponder something in your heart", isn't it?
