I also like the name Mesmer Eyes and I don't see why you shouldn't be able to get $200.00. I think it is well worth it.

[Barbara]

Intensity?
Emerald?

I have no idea about the price.

[jenluckenbach]

MYSTIQUE

$195

[kimlovescats]

I thought either "Entranced" or "Entrancement" ... but I do like the Mesmer-eyed idea too ... good one T&P! I have no idea about price .... I've never bought any original art, and I like a bargain ... but DO NOT sell yourself short, you are way too talented for that! GOOD LUCK tomorrow, it is GORGEOUS!!!!

[Mad Mags Moo]

Kindred Spirit

Also like Mesmerized too...excuse the spelling!
Not sure about price, sorry Kim

[rg_girlca]

I have no clue about the price and I like all the names that have been suggested.

I wish all the best of luck tomorrow Kim and I cannot wait to hear all about it.

I cannot express enough how beautiful that picture is and how talented you are.

[jazzcat]

Wow Kim! I can't get over how intense her eyes are. Stunning!!!! Definitely use a play on eyes for the name.

As for a price I'm no good at that. I've never bought a piece at a gallery in my life.

Good luck, I love it!

For price, figure out how many hours you spent doing the work, then multiply by what you would LIKE to be paid. Add cost of framing and viola - you have your price!

[sandragonfly]

beautifully done kim!

usually my friends (artists) cost themselves $35-$40 per hour... then like karen said, add the frame/mat cost and *there* you are!

let us know your final decision, mystique cat, good luck!!

I like fascination and emerald beauty, or emerald mystery.
This is stunning, I love it! Congratulations!

[catnapper]

Yikes! I have between 25-30 hours into this drawing! Wouldn't that be great to ask $300? I'll never get it, but its great to dream!

People have no idea how slow it is to work in colored pencils to get the right look. Its not like coloring in crayons where you press hard to get good coverage. Feather, wispy light touches and layers upon layers come together to create a picture. Ok, enough art lessons for today!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I still am not sure which name I'll go with. Will decide when I'm handing it in!

captivate
(transitive verb) 1 archaic : SEIZE , CAPTURE ; 2 : to influence and dominate by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal..there's a new one Kim.
I like mesmerize too.

[catnapper]

Dropped it off.... named it Jen's suggestion of "Mystique" Grant and the kids liked that one best. Will save the suggestions for the next one. I am thinking of doing a series of cats faces up close like that. So all the names will apply!

Funny thing was that the person who took the artwork from me was...... my vet's assistant!!

I spent twenty minutes getting her opinions on Pouncer and Angel! LOL




Hmmm... now I wonder what type of artwork she does. I'll have to go t the opening and look for her work. Think it has anything to do with animals?

[orangemm]

You did that??? Oh, my, I am JEALOUS (how about THAT for a name?). What wonderful talent!

What beautiful work. I am in awe.
