Mistaken Identity


Under?
Originally uploaded by colormuse

This painting of oil on an antique bedspread was carelessly placed leaning on this chair. I had originally called it "Under" until I saw it differently...in this position...A new light dawned and perhaps a new name need be sought. Does it only become a chair because of the surrounding shapes? What makes a painting be the most true to itself?

I believe time helps a painting and artist know the "real" title.
Are you possibly still interested in posting your "7 random things about yourself?" Let me know!
