Melancholy

Sassy Woman

Foreign Lady

Gee, not sure if any of my art is worth a title with his name in it… you are very good at giving me a big head! Thanks for inspiring me with you print making. X C

I don’t know but thanks for mentioning that I have inspired you, You have done a fantastic job Carmen, isn’t this exciting! I feel a little better.

He he Billy, your’e on fire girlfriend!

i know…
Mixed Media Madam !!

I bailed out on a dinner date… my partner went alone so I could paint some more. He’s such an understanding darling. I think he has bought me a set of “Schmienke” pastels for Christmas… I can’t wait!

Ozjami – your’e another really reliable supporter… but if I am about to start another using the same mediums then I will be stuck with a title again! I better go start on it hehe and have something to show Steve when he gets home from dinner otherwise he might think I just bailed with no real creative intentions in mind!

I got a box of those off my art teacher as a Christmas gift, wish I new how to use them. What about ” Golden Girl”, gosh, my David said that not me….He is trying to get out of the room.

LOL ok….!

This is great I reckon featured page coming right up. Maybe cyclops tho she’s so pretty and that’s not the most flattering critter to be named after

Your teacher gave you a box of Schmienkes!???? You biatch! You can’t even use them… I’ll send you my address…. HA HA LOL! You beautiful silly woman!

“CYCLOPS” – Jen, what does that mean, excuse my ignorance and laziness for not going straight to wickepedia!

First of all this is a great picture Carmen,Very balanced, gourgeous contrasts,it`s even more beautyfull to know you created it this afternoon!
A name? Well she obviously sad or feeling reminishent for something and the writing at the right bottom of the picture says “creativity”.Well….....you know what? A title should only come from you
Carmen! It might not be easy but it`s there.I give titles to pictures after I finish them, I just look at the picture and see what the picture it`s trying to say.Sometimes i also project the picture in what happened in my past and turn the picture in to some framing device of my life experiences.

Valid valid points Marco. I haven’t ‘dialogued’ with this painting yet, so I’ll give it a few days and then title it, unless of course someone comes up with a brilliant name. Like you said though, it should come from the artist and I am probably going to knock away every title, but it’s a good way to get inspiration. Thanks for your message and comments, I know the standard of your work so I am very flattered. X C

This is sooooooo goooooooooood….love the way all the colours blend and flow in…

It reminds me of a Queen in a deck of cards…so my title choice would be…Queen of Knaves

Ooh Demon – I like that… I see what you mean! Thanks for your comments, you guys have all been so generous!

This is gorgeous, love mixed media,bought some new ink and water colour paint myself today for that very purpose. She is lovely!

“Sarasate’s Fantasy”.

Spanish violinist and composer, Pablo Sarasate composed a really dynamic arrangement based on themes from the opera Carmen. I’m not a big fan of opera, but Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy does strum my strings.

Thanks everyone for your contributions and feedback on this Miss untitled! I think it’s time for me to wrap up for the night… have a nice morning or sleep where-ever you are! Carmen : )

PHASES OF LIFE .. WONDERFUL WORK !!

Carmen! You have incredible talent Gal! As soon as I saw your ‘Cha Cha Girl’, I loved her!

colorful personality,, love the design, how you show the details in the lips and eye used multi color for the hair and neck area, and the designs on the side of head area, really rich colors well done

Thanks everyone – I did another one this evening… slightly different style and am still stuck on a title… I’ll leave a comment so it pops up and see if you can help me…

Here it is!

Lots of energy in this one! How about ” Creativity stole my Baby!” Love the colour and the line work. Well done!

Only in an hour? I’m impressed. It,s a fabulous composition with great colours, patterns and textures. I love it. :)

has anyone managed a title yet… I am still stuck. So far, Picasso’s Dora, Queen of knaves or Cyclops… but what’s a cyclops… is that that thing with half animal half human… and love Picasso’s Dora, but wouldn’t that be taking liberties to think I could even dare use a name like his in my art?

very nice work, Carmen. What inks do you use? I have some Dr. Ph Martin Bombay india inks that I want to play with soon.

These were some cheapy inks from my fashion design days… i think were going back to 1992!

Oh yea, and pantone inks.

Fantastic work again Carmen…excellent!

Very nice work.
Strange, when I looked at it, first thought that entered my head was ‘teardrops from heaven’. Think there is a song with that title. Don’t know why but there is something sad in the picture.

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this painting! I can’t believe, but am thrilled at the overwhelming response I have received. It’s good to be painting people again and working with mixed media, I am really enjoying it, and your responses and comments are really spuring me on! Thank You!

Beautiful work Carmen!

Wow love this, i can see some fashion design in here. Well done.

Lovely work, nicely composed! I think the current title is very good, no need to look for another one.

a cyclops is a creature with one eye…LOL!!

Carnival of the Creative Soul.

Fires with inspire

Careworker

How about “Eye Without A View” ???!!!!! Well done, Carmen – this painting is beautiful. So vibrant and full of life, and the colours are stunning. Cheers, Debra.

Carmen: I converse with my painting and ask what it would have of me. Moments shared alone with my oils have led to startling revelations. No matter what the outcome might be for this piece remember to color, brighten and to flourish in all that you do.

I usually look at the pictures, not the names…..then I see it is you again!! You are so talented! I love this one also….keep up the great work.

‘Blue Eye’ seems a good title for this great piece of art..I love it..what inspired you to paint it? could work for a title,,merry xmas to you all

very creative, well done :)

I love this. Very eye catching.

very awesome piece.. this seriously rocks my soul.

There is a strong.. I’d say.. starbucks vibe to this I love it.
This could easily hang in a coffee shop.. it gives me a craving for a green tea latte!... no water :)

Love the combination, beautiful piece :)
