As with most of my original works, I create titles for them based on expressions and euphemisms in  life.
I cherish the English language and all it's eccentricities.
Expressions often make you laugh out loud (many southern sayings' come to mind), bring comfort in times of difficulty and often represent language of a bygone era that can still be applied to every day situations, giving the expression more color and personality--just like my paintings!
 
This one is titled "A Cup of Ambition" because it reminds me of a great Dolly Parton quote from her song "9 to 5" 
We all occassionally need that liquid cup of gold to get going, that push for courage, the extra step we take to get us where we need to go---our proverbial cup of ambition. The striking gold tones of this spoke to me of hope and perseverance and the will to exceed expectations. Everything about this painting speaks of ambition.  I know you'll wake up wanting to seize the day every time you glance at the striking balance of colors and gold.
 
If you are a storyteller this would make a great conversation piece in your home.
 
This painting would look extra special framed in a gold floating frame. If you'd like to see examples of floating frames, I use a metal floating frame on all of my artwork that you can see in many photographs all over my website. Below you will find links to two examples of the exact frame I use.
