What's in a Name?
Coming up with titles for your paintings can be difficult sometimes.
But it can also be kind of fun!
Sometimes I think of a name before I begin painting
Sometimes something comes to me when I am in the process
Sometimes I decide after the painting is finished

Sometimes I think of a name before I begin painting
- Sometimes I think of a title for the painting as soon as I see what I want to paint or have an idea for a painting. It helps keep my brain focused on what the painting is about.This painting was inspired by a lyric from a song that I love to sing.

- Sometimes I get an inkling of what to call the painting while working on it. I may not be certain until it's finished but a lot of my pieces get a working title while they are works in progress. The painting on the right came to me while I was painting the fence!
Sometimes I decide after the painting is finished
- Sometimes I try and think about a title during the observation and reflection stage. I use the benefits of search
engines and the internet to help with ideas.
Mum's the Word - Poetry titles, phrases and quotes sometimes help me find the right title.
Have
fun with your titles. I know that I enjoy reading the titles of other
artist's paintings, so I want my viewers to enjoy mine, too.
And enjoy playing with your pastels!
