Need name ideas

[catnapper]

I'm entering this in an art show tomorrow. I am at a loss for a name. Nothing as typical as "Minette". I want it to be a descriptive name - maybe one of emotion? Of a state of mind?



One of the kids' friends gave me "Envy" based on her eyes. I like the idea because its discriptive, but does carry some negative connotations.

Any ideas?

Also, I'm still struggling with a price. Too high and it won't sell, too low and I'll be giving away many (MANY!) hours of work. It will be framed, so consider the cost of framing in with the artwork.

Mesmerize. Because that is what those eyes are mesmerizing.

I like it! Maybe with a little play on words like mesmer-eyes...

As for price, I couldn't even begin to suggest a range.....sorry.

Sure is an awesome picture though, you really are good!

My fisrt thought was *Hypnotic* but I like Michelle's *Mesmerize* even better! Also - Debbie's play on words *Mesmer-eyes*..*Mezmurreyes* too silly?

beguile(d)
enchant(ed)
allure(d)
intrigue(d)

I like the name.
As for price, if overall finished product (artwork, frame) is
8x10 price $150 -$175
11x17 price $275-$300

Ooo.... I like a few of them. Spellbound being my first choice. Will ask hubby and the kids what they think.

Debbie, you think I dare ask that much? I'd LOVE to! Am afraid to!

I checked out the gallery earlier this week to scope pricing. They had a mix of things. One colored pencil artist that was just plain BAD, and he asked that much for something 4 times as big. Then again, it was BAD - badly rendered, bad perspective, bad composition. Bad. Then there were photographers who asked $275 for a photo of something that wasn't near as nice as half the pictures I see here on PT. Then there were pieces BEAUTIFULLY done selling for $100. I'm at a loss. I honestly hoped seeing what the prices were already like would help me. It only confused me more

I like the suggestions so far but in case you are looking for something different, how about something about the eye color.
Something like Emerald Eyes or even Dayglo Eyes(that's from a U2 song).
For price I wouldn't go lower than $150. How big is it again?
I think it's just beautiful!

Oops... forgot to mention the size. Image size is fairly small: 7"x9" and fits nicely into an 11"x14" frame. Is double matted and is in a traditional silver burnished silver frame.

Kim - I don't think the close to $200 price is that high. Too low and you might feel that your work was wasted...do you think?

Or maybe even spellbinding......just a different take on the same word.....

WOW! That picture is BEAUTIFUL! You are very talented! I like the name "Mesmer Eyes", and I would pay $150.00 for it framed and matted! Of course, I am a cat lover, so I could even go higher! Good luck!

[sasvermont]

I would call it "eyes"....and ask between $175-$225.
