What runs through your mind when you see this picture?

What feelings and thoughts run through your mind when you see this picture:

How does this picture make you feel? What does it make you think of?

And what is the very first thing you thought when you saw this picture?

You know, I'd never really considered being drawn nude before, but this isn't bad. At any rate, I'm glad those people across the street are enjoying it.

On one level I am sorry I ruined this thread, and on another, I am not.

The light is wrong; there is a light source hidden behind the board or else she is holding a mirror.

She has a pencil in her hair.

She is wearing a very impractical dress for sketching in. It will get ruined.

She will get backache sitting like that. She needs an easel.

The subject appears to be Regency, but the style looks far more modern.

Being an analytical person (and an art fan), the first thing I thought was that it looks like a Magritte, or at least in his style. is it?

I wondered why the window was broken.

I thought, I know her.

What I see in the painting is an attractive female artist who is sketching someone. Outside a window is a romantic couple.

Since that someone is in front of her and not in the painting, I imagine that she's sketching me. And since there is a hint of romance in the painting, perhaps I'm even posing for her nude.

I get the impression that she is creative, and she has intelligent, aware eyes.

My feeling is one of sexual and romantic attraction for her, since I like creative, intelligent women.

"Is the window broken?"

Also, the woman looks a bit tired. She should take a break; sitting like that can't be too comfortable.

Is there a philosophical point to this thread? Not that I mind an art thread, but I'm curious why this painting was shown, and why the particular questions.

eudaimonia,

Wendy Darling is drawing Peter Pan's portrait. Our POV is his.

How does this picture make you feel? Sad, happy, confused. She looks sad/tired, poor thing

What does it make you think of? Food.. Summer, Love, paint, drawings, love. mirrors, windows..

And what is the very first thing you thought when you saw this picture? Awe, there's a couple outside!
She looks sad, and.. is she drawing me?
(all going through my head, hard to tell which one came first haha)

"Where is the text box?"
"Rescale the image, please?"

My first thought is that there are no creepy alien spacecraft in the sky behind the woman. I recently saw the Ancient Aliens episode that focuses on Da Vinci and there are some strange backgrounds to some Renaissance paintings.

That is a pretty painting

What did I think of this extremely large picture slowly downloading on my shipboard internet connection? You can waste bandwidth like nobody else.

The_Evelyonian · May 2, 2012

"Wow, it's taking this image forever to load."

6/10, would do.

Netbug009 · May 12, 2012

I feel sorry for her; she seems lonely, and the couple outside accents this. Maybe they are friends who got together and made her the third wheel? Or she was in love with the man?

It makes me think, why didn't the OP use a better sized image for posting vs one that breaks the page formatting.
