I had a tough time naming this painting. I wanted to have something imaginative title for it but I could only think of 'yellow plate' - which is okay ( but just wished a teeny-tiny bit more imaginative than that.)  After spending several hours on the title without a success, I decided to ask for a help to my 7 year old son who sees everything as faces: All windows and doors in a house appear eyes and mouth to him. A breakfast with eggs and bacons look a human face to him....and so on.

 

This is the conversation we had

 

Me:       "Hey, I need some ideas to give this painting a name. Do you have any suggestions?"

My son: "Of course it's a face, Mom."

              "These two bottles are eyes and the yellow plate is a big wide open mouth."

              "And it's saying "Ahhhhhh......".  ( he ignored the poor apple )

Me:       "......................"

 

Okay,  obviously his idea is more imaginative than mine, I will use his idea - period.

 

ps. strangely now I see it as a face after my son's comment...
