I just looked at my Thesaurus for different words for wetlands. Surprisingly few in common usage. 'Rain on the Fen'?, ah.., what`s a fen? Paintings must be titled, it`s a matter of accounting and organization. My practice is to stick with the facts. This lack of imagination can cause chaos later, especially over the phone; is it 'Marsh Morning' or 'Morning Marsh'? Not so good for business. Numbers might seem like a solution but those are even harder to remember! I`m open to suggestion.
I learned a new word to title the painting I posted today. Love the perspective in this piece. It's very November-y to me. I'll let you know if any possible title pops to mind.
ReplyDeleteI love this painting... (by any name).
ReplyDelete"Fen" is a great word; don't be afraid! My advice as a writer is to keep using that thesaurus--be as bold with your language as you are with your paints. And anyway, a Tipton painting is fabulous no matter what it's called.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteI work with computers and of course, naming conventions were used to organize files and provide description. In our world, where the files are about commands the convention is verb-noun or for reports, we use department-verb-noun-description
May I suggesting something similar like year place subject mood/color?
