Coming up with titles for paintings can be a real chore sometimes. It is easier to not duplicate names so everything is kept straight but it is becoming increasingly difficult to come up with a new title for “Field” for these daily paintings.
I have always found that anything other than landscapes were easy to name.
I did a series based on gameboards that were pretty obvious – Chess 1, Chess 2 etc. Nothing outstanding.
I have also done a lot of titling based on cheesy clichés ie: Just Between You Me And The Fence Post and Running in Circles. These I actually liked the best and had a lot of fun with them. In doing so, I hoped to reassure the viewer that I was not taking myself too seriously. For me, if I can remember what I titled a painting, I feel it is the right one – if not – it needs a new name.
But for these daily works, I am off to paint a new one – maybe “Field with Blue sky and green grass”? Or maybe “Untitled 47” would be just as inspiring.

Trees Along the Highway
These sad little trees flank the QEW, not sure if they will make it to spring.

Ready for Snow
All of the city snow fencing is up along the lake but for no reason so far.
