For example, I may get an inquiry about a 'winter rainforest'? Even though that was my brilliant title, I`m like a deer in the headlights as I stammer 'can you tell me more about the piece?' as I mentally race through the hundreds of paintings I`ve done with those words in the title. It`s embarrassing! and beyond a solution I fear. If I numbered them, I would not remember the numbers. If I tried to be poetic, I`d cringe every time I said or wrote it. If I stick with the facts, which is my preference, there are only so many English words for forest or wetlands.
It occurs to me just now that I don`t have to be limited to English!!

A very nice piece, whatever title you end up giving it. I like the mark making, and the contrasts in this painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of warm and cool colors in this one, Randall!
ReplyDeleteJust be careful with Google translations!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting.
This is a really nice one! I struggle, too, with titles....scour a thesaurus. I do number them, though, to keep it organized. I wonder if using words of emotion, action, time of day, etc instead of 'what it is' would be helpful. Some artists are so talented at titling. Not me!
