I guess I have to say I agree with Mike McCarty.
My fireplace, "Portrait of my daughters"
Someone else's fireplace, "Stopping for a closer look" (or something like that)
Isn't that the beauty of art? It is what the creator says it is? Even if it is that what they say only to them?
Is the question possibly what is the difference between a portrait and figurative IN THIS FORUM?
Because, obviously, I could not put a bunch of blobs of paint on a canvas and post it in the critique section and call it "Portrait of my half second cousin, twice removed" (Which I recently learned from Family Tree Maker is a valid explanation of a relative, very distant but related)
and expect to get away with it.
Well, now that I think of it, I could call it "Self portrait in the morning" and be accurate.
Never mind.
