Chinese Painting with Brush

It is a naive painting by myself, with a famous painting by ShiHu(石壶:an artist, there's no information about him in Wikipedia, I only find some information about him on Chinese-based websites.) as a model. This one is far from the original one, but I'm satisfied with it, anyway.

I think it's beautiful. I've always wished that I could paint or draw, or well, do anything with my hands at all. What is the title of the painting?

By the way, saying your painting is "naive" is a little awkward. "Naive" means "ignorant of the ways of the world" and describes a person, not an object. I understand what you are trying to say, but I can't come up with a suitable word. I'll think on it a bit.

Thank you for your praise and your correction of my usage of the word.

To have an idea and to clearly express an idea is totally different.

The best word I can come up with to replace "naive" is "lowly". Honestly, a native speaker would probably just restructure their sentence to avoid this whole problem.
