This little painting measures 6 by 9. It also has a companion piece and since I have a figure drawing session for half a day on Sat. I'll post it for tomorrow's painting. They were done quickly and in a wet in wet style. I am calling this one mid morning air. I often have a problem naming my paintings and this was true with this piece. I sometimes ask other people to give me some ideas of painting names but unfortunately their names are usually worse then the ones I came up with. For instance, I did this series of Koi fish and couldn't come up with any titles for the pieces. Yeah I could have called them Koi one, two, three etc and actually did this until I had painted seven or eight. Finally, I asked my husband Art to help me out. Always the funny guy, he named then names like koincidence, koillideiscope, Koinundrum, and several other similar names, I can't remember right now but you get the idea. Now, if you have any great ideas and think you have a better name for one of my paintings please share, I would love to hear them. Most of my painting names are not exactly right, but just good enough. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to put a name on something every day.

What's wrong with "Koincidence" and "Koinundrum"?
Just kidding... Your husband's suggestion made me laugh.
I saw some of the Koi pieces on your other web site and loved particularly "Koi Magic". I also loved "Amy Resting"... Wow... So beautiful...
Thank you for sending me here. I LOVE watercolors, and enjoyed reading the few posts you've published. I'll definitely add your blog to my daily rounds... A painting a day? Seriously? What a treat!
