Painting needs a title....

I saw this painting as a photograph and thought it would make a great painting. There is some background story to it, but I am leaving it up to the viewer to come up with their own ideas. This is a 9x12 acrylic on canvas.

Finished painting. Need to take a better photograph once the varnish is put on. Will do several tests to see if it is best to use Matte or Glossy. May try a mix, since the tiles could be wet.

Another couple of hours. I whitened up the tiles in the background, totally repainted her and put down a bottom layer of paint for the hair.

Finally decided to put her in some sort of tiled bath area.

Been working more on painting people. I am still very stuck on whether to keep the background light, paint it dark or add something to the background.
