About a year ago a dear collector of my work was talking to one of my dealers in hopes of finding a particular painting. There was some confusion because I used to title my paintings with whatever title hit me at the moment. It's difficult, I think, for the landscape painter to come up with titles... at least it is for me! I tended to title them by what was depicted with titles such as "Big Oak", which surely could describe many of my paintings.

My dealer gently explained how my lack of imagination when it came to titles might cause confusion. Oh, I said... and the light bulb in my head went on! And so the title challenge began!!

I readily admit it: sometimes I'm "title challenged." My muse is out to lunch when it comes time to give a painting a title. But I'm trying harder these days. So here are two new paintings with their unique titles: "Trees by the Lake", and "Morning Mist." I checked my new data base and amazingly, I have not used these titles before... I think;)

"Morning Mist", 6 by 8 inches, oil on stretched canvas. SOLD

"Trees by the Lake", 9 inches by 12 inches, oil on stretched canvas. SOLD
