I sometimes am at a loss on how to name a painting. This particular one was based on a photo of a close up I took on an older model classic car's grill. It was taken during another car show that I attended with Mr. Motorhead, my boyfriend. But I didn't know enough about the type of car or year to use that as a name. Yes, I guess I need to ask more questions while I'm taking photos than just learning all this car stuff by osmosis. I am guessing that it's a 1930's or around there by the hood but that's all I can figure out.
Here I am at a loss for a title and I hate having "Untitled" and a number after. Not my kind of thing; its too vague. Then I had an idea, I would put a photo of it on Face Book and see about suggestions for a title. Thus, a title for this painting emerged. It's called "Alien Grill Grin". A few of the people on Face Book thought it had a bit of that "Alien" Giger feel about it. I'm unsure about that and will let you decide. Here it is....

It was rather fun to just focus on part of a car, and don't be surprised if you see more of these types of paintings in the future. I welcome any comments or feedback. Thanks for stopping by!
