Nice one! To me, “Etching a Space and Time” gives it some teeth (for a title).

Thanks Stephen.

“The Fractured Planet”

Thank you Sarah, any reason or is that what you see?

“mirroring miro”

Thanks Ordie, had a look at your works, nice. Any reason for this title?

omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

Like it

just reminded me of some of joan miro’s work
kind of looked inspired by….

Thats nice, thanks.

“Flight Of Kites”

Because that’s how it feels to me. (great color)

Thanks, I like it.

I have added you to my blogroll

“Tickering with Time”

The round elements remind me of creatures moving around in space doing their own things. With all of that space around them anything is possible. Their worlds may one day collide. And the little red and white bow tie shape represents (to me) time giving yellow creature a nudge

Nice one, Love your abstracts, and the Murals are great. I will add you to my blogroll

“Shooting the moon” - just because.

How about “in waiting”?

Bee’s Music

buzzing

puked up skittles

Hmmm

Flying High (It makes me think of kites in a summer sky)

Love it Anna

“Morning Glory”
Just reminded me of dew and blue morning skies and grass with ladybirds etc etc.

Social Climbers

Reminds me of social critters climbing towards achievement. If they choose the wrong side to climb on, they can get hurt in the process. By choosing the right side, they have more chances of reaching their target. However, the latter looks warm, bright and cheerey, but it is nothing more than an inflated balloon decorated with a bow… it may drift farther away and remain unreachable.

Its becoming more difficult, what will happen by December, aaaargh!

“Oddball”

“Striving to Survive” or “Sacrifice and Surrender”

because, to me, it looks like sea creatures striving to survive, going toward the surface to evolve or generally like doing the “dirty work” before real life can begin…. the way scientists explain where we come from.

Very interesting theory Katharina

In The Depths

make me think of underwater type scenes with plankton and tiny fishes. been looking through your gallery i like your work a lot. i’m an art student.

Thanks for the compliment Liz, nice title

Ladybug’s Symphony or Music from Heaven

Just read The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle and this reminded me of it. Upon first seeing the painting, Music from Heaven was my impression, with little angels playing with notes floating about.
Nice painting with great colors. Cheerful and bright. Paula

Hi Katerina I sent you an e-mail

Paula i like this idea very much

“Life on a fragile thread”

It loks like living things on thin threads and reminds me how fragile life is.

Thanks Jane, another great idea

I love this painting and the first name that came to mind was “Tank”

“My Friend James the Shark” Well reminds me of a lad I knew who was very lucky go happy with his head in the clouds and swimming in the deep blue sea, any little fishes coming along, he would give them a big smile, then show his big gleaming teeth. They thought he was being friendly…Oh No, he was hungry! Well that’s what it reminds me of…

I like your reasons

Title: “The Morning Ritual” or “The Crooked Bow-Tie”

The morning ritual that men go through of shaving and trying to tie the perfect knot in their neckties or bow-ties, often ending up with a crooked tie or bow-tie and bleeding razor nicks that they have to cover with toilet paper or tissue to stop the bleeding. lol

Red half-circle = bleeding razor nick
White half-circle = razor nick covered with t.p.
Background and other = mess left on bathroom counter when man has finished
Yellow circle = the morning sun
Red and white “bowtie” = the crooked bowtie

Very nice, I like!

Glad ya like it!
Hey… when I left my email addie earlier, I did so thinking it would be “private” but I see that it is displayed here right under where I’m typing in the reply box along with my name, etc… Ooops, I just noticed that I can go and edit that stuff… so that’s probably why I can see it, right? So I’m assuming it’s still private… *blush*/*embarrassed* I removed the website “entry”. I don’t have a website yet, so I had written that I was a member of WetCanvas, and it showed up as a URL — the sentence that I had written… lol I’m new to these blog thinga-ma-jiggies. Chow. One more thing: what does pollocks the bollocks mean? lol

Its British slang, Pollock is the Bollocks, just means that Pollock is number1, the best. Bollocks alone is quite rude so that one you’ll need to look in the slang dictionary

Hmmm, how about ‘Night Vision’? It looks like it takes place during dusk, the kind of scene you see out of the corner of your eye but when you look properly there’s nothing there…

“When Flying Kites Swim”

It’s a very odd name, but that’s what I thought of when I saw it.

Hi Tess its great!

The colors are very beautiful and intense. It is like they are in harmony but at war all at the same time. Very interesting.

Thank you

5-5-3-2 sky fish

5 circles & semicircles, 3 lines, 2 triangles.

Got that weather balloon and reef fish look too.

flying the sky

Name for your painting:-

CHARDONAY…..

Very sophisticated William, Thanks

Title: “who put acid in the goldfish bowl ”
why? because it lools like goldfish with their edges gone all crinkly from the wron solution!

“Bleeding slowly in a cold blue world”

Great work. I would call this “prelude to you” because it seems to be a preliminary to an action, event, condition, or work of broader scope and higher importance.

“Distant Existance” refering to the shadows in the back round being darker than the prominant colours your drawn to first

First thing I thought of when I saw it was “Split Infinity”.

Very nice by the way….would love it in my living room. It would be the nicest picture up there though and then I’d have to find more….

As I love the colour blue It stikes me as a painting is searching the colour blue so i would call it it BLUE

“Curiosity”

Mystified Sea … I see sea creatures in the deep blue waters but they’re not truly defined.

The top painting reminds me of toirtoise shell pattern with the blues, so Tortoise Shell Blues

Famed you and your site on BTF =) Lovely site and artwork.

Thanks Deborah, what’s BTF by the way?

‘INSINUATIONS”

because the semii circular shapes remind me of Earwigs
…. and the verb earwig means: “to fill the mind with prejudice by insinuations” or
“to attempt to influence by persistent confidential argument or talk”

thanks for the vote at BTF Pollocks

aside to Deborah…..good one !!!!!!!!!!

I must have erred in this comment section, forgive my lack of computerese. As for a title for your work, “Azurra D’Or” I hope that works for you.

I really like all of the recent titles

“Hangad”, a Filipino word for “Will”.
The iimpossibles are possible for men who are eager.

The painting shows challenge; path, pain and result. Red symbolizes agony, blue as path and yellow as will.

Personally, I hate the colour blue! When I use it I struggle. It is a favourite colour en-masse and it makes sense to work with it - it sells!!!

If it were mine I would have fought with it the whole way, then called it “Opposing Sensibility”.

‘Treasures Of The Deep’, that’s my entry. When I look at this painting it’s the ocean’s depths that instantly spring to mind, the shapes taking on the forms of the various odd creatures that one would expect to find down there.

On an unrelated note, was nice to meet you the other night. Hope you enjoyed yourself my friend

Phil

UP THE HILL BACKWARDS

“Playtime”- this looks a really fun piece and suggests ideas of messing around carefree

Thanks for all the recent suggestions, its becoming more and more difficult to choose

I don’t know why this reminds me of fishing rods and bobbers (corks), but it does. So the name could be “Fishing”. But I really like it, whatever it’s name will be

“Dragging the depths” and seeing what gets caught .

This is an awesome site. I’ve only a few minutes this morning but I will be back to take it all in. I’ll be adding you to my Blogroll and recommending you to the art for lunch crowd.

“Space Oddities”
Love the composition and colors.
Reason for the title: takes me to space and it is full of life that I can’t name it.

Hi, I have a few suggestions:
1. Diatoms (1/?)
2. Nosedive
3. Skyfold in Threes

1) because this reminds me of a photo I have of diatoms, like a Miro-esque take on diatoms. Only, the yellow circle toward the top reminds me more of a hot air balloon that has escaped. But, diatoms, mostly.
2. Nosedive because it looks as if a large bird has taken a nosedive and pulled the bottom half of the sky down with it
3. Skyfold in threes because it also looks as if (perhaps because of #2) the sky’s been fractured into three pieces.

In any case, I *love* this piece. Well done. It reminds me of my own work and of what I aspire to make. (I’ll get my own visual art up soon - still new to this.) Very interesting piece. Thanks for making it.

the blue in fashion

Thanks for all your titles, they are all great

I’d like to add to the suggestion “Space Oddities”
Cocoon and Deep Blue.

Hello all - am I too late? Has the title been decided yet?

no yet not too late

“Ladybug’s Romp”
It looks to me like a couple of ladybugs getting ready for a fling on a Saturday night. One is putting the BayBugs to rest, another is powdering herslef up, and I see musical notes, starry skies, the moon, and a botie - a promise of a Mr. Bug to come…

hello again…
Now i am not very good with art but i know i like this! When i see paintings in gallery’s i can never understand their titles, so i hope my suggestion does not offend you to much.
the first time i saw it - this was what first came to me ‘lost lonely mice’

What do you think??

http://simplythebestbands.wordpress.com/

I really like your painting! It does remind me of Miro …I get the feeling of the sky and the air but also water, liquid, ocean. What came to mind was a line from a children’s story I wrote years ago (Fish Loves Turtle)…

“As if the ocean were the sky”

That’s what came to me for now.
Best wishes to you!

Hi again! I came back, ’cause I like your work & I like contests & I like words…so…

I also see a woman’s lower body….like the shape of a piece of pie…and then there is the sky thing again…and now I’m getting silly& goofey but I’ll say it anyay…

SKY PIE

…it’s ok to laugh…I’m goggling here!

I meant “giggling”….can’t find me eye glasses!

I mean….I’m “GIGGLING ” here…

Sorry, can’t find my eye glasses!

The Woman’s Belly-button in the Reflection of the Late Night of the Kites

Thanks Bethann for all your enthusiasm

Hi again!
Because it is so light & playful, you could call it “LILA”…which is a Hindu word for:
The Cosmic PLAY of the GODS! (I guess you could goggle “LILA”).
Lila
(I named my favorite dog that once upon a time because of the meaning)

You could always name it after a person (child, lover, friend,relative) who makes you feel expansive, light, free, open and delighted as this painting makes one feel….but only YOU know who that would be!

Later!
Bye!
BA

I mean “GOOGLE”…… IT….GOOGLE Lila !

(something is seriously wrong with me this week relating to giggle, google and goggle words…MMMMMM?????)

I’m going to stop now before I embarass myself anymore!
good night

“Fly Away Now”

i think of a lost balloon, escaping the clutches of child to float iaway into the sky.
theres something vaugely melancholy, yet tinged with hope, about this picture–a sad departure? an unexpected journey? or perhaps a dying memory of childhood joy…

Interesting composition!

singing the blues, afternoon aperetif is my title.

I like it Andy, I like your art too

What comes to mind for me is “You’re not even listening, are you….?” The red half circle seems to be pleading with the white circle, with a “list of complaints” (the half circles on the other side of the line). The white half circle seems to have it’s back turned on the bleeding red half circle, and it goes it’s merry way on it’s own separate line, unhindered by baggage and surrounded by full, and thereby perfect, circles, including one who even seems to be flying a kite.

I love this sort of thing……! (So don’t read too much into my thoughts)

I love your title and your reason. fantastic Diane

Ok,I’m back with complete silliness!
I’m just gonna blurt out all the brainstorm titles that came to me:

Blue Monkey……………. (I see a monkey)
Turtle Sky………………. (I see a turtle)
Mermaid Sky ……………(I see a sky, water & woman
….or just…
BLUE . PERIOD

That blue is so captivating and stimulating and invigorating !
It’s quite a lovely piece!

Title:

‘The Lion loved my blue baloon’.

To my perception this picture is kind of ‘catish’, And you asking for the title seem to me being a bit kind of ‘catish’ too.

The Lion loved my ‘blue phantasies’ and tore me apart.

Here is a poem for your picture:

My ‘inner’ became my ‘outer,
My silence became a shouter.
(S)He zipped me - and my frost, cold
Most of my baloons got lost, old.

However, please don’t worry about my ‘baloons’

“Elementary Dreams”

When I first saw this it sparked a memory of being back in grade school. First experimenting with art and glue and creativity. It made me daydream for a moment about being that young and untouched by the world. Back then art was just pure fun.

Great blog, i added you to my blogroll.

“Astronomy domine”…

Damit… just put that PFloid’s song… and that’s the true nature of your amazing paint -period.

Regardless of what an abstract artist may have titled their work, I often find myself sometimes re-thinking their title based on what I see. My interpretation was immediate in this case.

“Propagation”

…..and if that one doesn’t do it for you, then ponder this one…..

“Metamorphis”

It is quite an interesting work.

Well crap…..does spelling count against us??

“Metamorphous”

swimming in the garden

Your painting sends me messages of water and garden stuff and floating space.

title: ‘the one that got away’
simply - its being given away and the two triangle joined shapes are escaping from the bottom of the painting, good luck. like the site, have linked to my blogsite ‘news from the shed’ - http://paultalbotart.blogspot.com/ and will put link in my website shortly

I love visiting you & your painting and all the
creative titles people come up with!
It’s really quite fun! I hope you keep doing it!
I’ve actually been down in the dumps….feeling blue.
I have been praying a lot! To KRISHNA!
He’s a new one for me!
(I pray to EVERYONE! All of the above… in the name of love!!)
… but Krishna is BLUE, so, I thought of YOU!

’till the sun goes down’

there’s the sun and there’s an hourglass

Hi: What about Split Image

‘Catch me when I fall’ -

Reason for the title - the little chaps at the top seem to be floating down or falling towards the bigger chaps at the bottom and its nice to have someone there for you when you are about to crash land.

Love the work and I too can see Miro

Thanks Annette like it a lot. Don’t tell Miro though

How about ‘The Hill Sheep of Venus’? To my mind it looks like an other-wordly landscape, complete with two suns/moons and amorphorous blobs (or sheep, if you will).

Axe wound

The V part looks like a huge gash

“Far Out on the Rock”

“My Heart Bleeds For You”

My mom’s maiden name was Pollock. Maybe we’re related.

“Symphony of the Ocean”

It looks to me like the “creatures” are interacting with each other in a musical way, helped along by the rhythm of the ocean currents.

“Five Floating Circles and the Ladybug Family is Flying a Kite”

It is what I see.

A cacophony of lusty demons -

nice blog!

lv Jack

I tend to lean towards what others have said….it looks to me like Miro passed by…
Nice concept on your blog…Keep at it. Cheers, c

So, PTB, I assume I am submitting a title for your newest competition piece. Therefore, let us call this one “Technicolor Fizzgig” At least that is a first impression of the work. As for the second part of the competition, I shall have to dwell upon that for a time.

Well done Moses for being the first, I like it

Ok, I ‘ll play.

Title 1. ”Whirligiging’..
Title 2. ‘Seance’…

Would you prefer these were sent in as two separate entries???
Wondering about ’strategy’ now….TO WIN, TO WIN…ok,

Title 3. ‘Game Theory’…

I too will have to stand down from the second part of competition.
At the moment. Have fun. Cheers, c

Betty Spagetti

I suggest “Lucky Me!” or “Demystify Me”
As always, it’s all about me, again

I think “threads of life” is a good name

I am closing the competition on my birthday which is 28th January, so look forward to your comments

“Before storm”

Free Willy Etch-a-Sketch?

i think it looks like the creation of the universes or something
so
creation

The winner Canadada with ‘Seance’

Received in the mail yesterday in good order.
WIll find a place soon on my wall … Very best. ‘C’

So happy for you, hope you like it. James

“Breakout”
They are escaping,yes?

“The Iridescent Flight from Prison of the Paralysed Notes”

Thats awesome

“Kaos of Spring Winds” befits your painting to a “T”! Just another happpenstance event in nature where only the strong survive or the most limber!!

Wow! In Canada? I wanna go there to expose my art, my art is windy and mystic, my art is nothing yet… cheers

I wish I found this site earlier, that’s a cool painting.

“Key Note Fusion” or “Key Note Fusion Fruit”

In what way would you like to participate?

“Fallen Seed”
“Fruitless”
“Transient Breath”
Reasons for names= gut instinct, biblical allusions and short and sweet.

Love the painting. But you are going to have to post it to Australia now that I have joined in. By the way when does your “competition” end. Neat idea to get your art moving.

visit us at designcentral.wordpress.com
for some reason we chose the same theme for our sites.

sorry I read the rest of the comments now. - May Day. Got it.

I’m going to go for ‘Elegant Emergence’

The two entities look - to me - as if one is a protozoic being (left), and the one on the right a more evolved version. The first is more angular and rough, the second graceful and curved. Elegant if you will.

Fingers crossed!

“Flowers inside the window”. This is my suggestion. Go ahead! puszi

Well this was pretty difficult to choose, but I have gone with ‘The Iridescent Flight from Prison of the Paralysed Notes’, it was a close one between 3 titles that I liked but this is the one that did it for me. Well done Daniel C. Boyer from Houghton, MI.

Shoot, missed the deadline … nonetheless, here’s my entry …

‘MIRO LEARNS TO GOLF’ …

… all in ’serious fun’,
Best, C
