Raggedy Carmen?
Mark Peterson
She looks like a ragdoll Carmen, and that’s a compliment by the way. Wonderful work! Im thinking Ragtime Annie…
Carmen Cilliers replied
It’s not such a stupid name : P – and thanks for stopping by again : )
lostboy13
that is a stupid name.
Carmen Cilliers replied
haha, which one?
lostboy13
Ragtime Annie…mines gold baby.
Carmen Cilliers
Mmm ok, if that makes you happy. I don’t think either – sorry LOL!
Judith Oppenhe...

Carmen Cilliers replied
Hello Judith – THANK YOU for commenting on the actual painting and overlooking Lostboy’s mission LOL – he’s cute though! Appreciate your comments.

Dressed to Impress or Home and Away
lostboy13
she looks a bit frazzled, how about “the after party”
Carmen Cilliers
How about DITCHED? (Not really!)
aaronschwartz
how about “I’‘m with the band” ?
lostboy13
now you`re just being silly.
pmistric
Well if she was ditched, then maybe “Dressed to Distress”
Carisma
Great work Carmen!!
Carmen Cilliers replied
Thank you!
AnitaInverarity
She’s cool- love the colours- How about
“Blue Leticia” (She looks like a Leticia to me for some reason) xxxxxx
Carmen Cilliers replied
I am glad you like her. Not sure I like the name Leticia – Kinda like Wendy… had a bad experience when I was a kid and Leticia sounds like someone that would be Wendy’s friend Lol. (Sorry to all the Wendy’s and Leticias out there! nothing personal to you – just that one lurking out there in the shadows of childhood hehe)
Nathan Johnson
How about “The morning after”?
Brilliant by the way, very vibrant colours.
Carmen Cilliers replied
I like the colours too – thanks.
The morning after, mmm suonds like she needs to go to the drugstore and get a pill for a mistake she made, not sure.

Carmen Cilliers replied

(I could go on and on… I just love thinking up titles).
She’s really beautiful Carmen… I love her!
Carmen Cilliers replied
Pip – lovely poem. I am going to stick it on the back so the new owners see it when they get it, who ever they are. Not sure if I should list it for sale or build a collection first.
Pip Gerard
I didn’t actually mean for it to be a poem… each line was a different idea for a title… but then when you said that and I read it back it does sound like it could be a little mini story of her so I believe that’’s the way it should be :)
The more I look at her… the more I like her! A truly fantastic work!!
Pip Gerard
what’s the original’s size?
Carmen Cilliers replied
About 76 by 60 (well at a guess because can’t find tape measure) and is on canvas board so needs a frame. If you want to buy it I have listed it in my Ebay store. Just go to Ebay and search Cilliers – it will come up (and cheap!). : )
Karin Taylor

Carmen Cilliers replied
I love your user name – what the hell does Somnolent mean? Sounds good.
Kim Grace
No title ideas, only you can name it because it came from you…but i do love her all the same…
Carmen Cilliers replied
You are always such a sweetie!

This is so cute! In Afrikaans we have a childrens’ song that would be perfect with this image! If you still remember some Afrikaans, I’ll write some of the words down here! It goes something like this: “Iemand het ‘n lappop op die ashoop weggegooi. Sy was gedaan en stukkend, verbleik en nie meer mooi nie…..” and at the end: “Al die goeters op die ashoop, hou gou vergadering. Hule besluit om lappop te bekroon as die ashoop koningin!” Hahaha…. could not resist!
Love this Carmen!
Carmen Cilliers replied
Ek ondhou nie daarie liedjie nie. My Afrikaans is pateties!!! Haha!
But thanks :)
tiffatron
awesome – love it
Carrie Glenn
Wow….excellent work! It’s so abstract yet so evocative of emotions life like. What a cool combination…great imagination!
