Name Suggestions Please!


Now give me your ideas for a name for this painting. I call it Pansy Cat and that fits for me because my cat Pansy's nature is portrayed perfectly in it. However I am going to enter it in Southwest Art's Artistic Excellence Competition, and I need a good name to enter it as it has potential to hold a dramatic name. 

How dose the picture strike you? What words would you use to describe it? And what would you name it? I'd love to hear as many suggestions as possible! Thank you! =)

Pansy in the Window


This is a pastel painting I did some months ago and I'm not sure I ever shared it with you. It is of Pansy in our bathroom window. I was quite excited about it when I began. The bright light was pouring in and yet not shining directly on anything you can see except the curtains leaving everything else in shadow and reflected light. I liked all soft colour shades and the toned wallpaper. The taps are another part I loved doing, I just added those little highlights and they came alive. But I never properly finished it because someone laughed at it and then I suddenly didn't feel like doing anything more on it. Which just shows how fickle I can be and how the slightest comment can affect how any artist sees his work, especially if he had thought it rather good!

You can tell it was summer because Pansy is in her sleek summer coat. She's got a huge ruff at the moment.

The Bathroom Again

   Several posts ago I hinted that I had a bathroom themed painting underway. Well it has been sitting on my drawing  board for weeks and I haven't done any improvements to it and don't think I will so I will share it as is. It is mostly finished anyway, I just wasn't happy with the cat, Pansy.


 I used pastel on grey pastel paper.
