Thank you to everyone who let me borrow their brain cells and suggested titles for my "Name These Paintings" contest.
I can't tell you how much fun it is to read all the entries as they come in! You are all a creative bunch!
So without further ado... here are the winners...
The winning title for painting #1 is
"Pearfection" submitted by Len Murtha. Thank you Len!
The winning title for painting #2 is
"Waiting for the Party" submitted by Kathleen Probst. Thank you Kathleen!
Len and Kathleen, please email me your mailing address and let me know if you would like a pack of note cards or a small sketch as a thank you for your winning title.
Thank you again to everyone who helped me out by entering your suggestions! A great title can make the difference in whether a painting sells or sits in inventory. And in the end I had so many good suggestions it was tough to choose.
Capturing the beauty I see and sharing it with others through paintings, drawings and sketches.

Need to Borrow Some Brain Cells
Sometimes titles for my paintings come easily either while I am working on a piece or shortly after I finish it.
Other times the portion of my brain that is responsible for titles locks up tighter than a bank vault.
I seem to be going through one of those bank vault times.
So I've decided to turn to the creativity of the masses. Many brains are better than one, right?!
I have a couple of pieces that are languishing in no-name land. I've tried to give them titles that would at least move them up to lame-name land, but they turn their backs and refuse to answer when I call.
This is where you come in! You can save my paintings from the agony of going through life with a lame title!
The paintings below both need cool titles. If you would like to help out them (and me), just shout out your title suggestions in the comments or in an email. Be sure to include the painting number so the title gets assigned to the proper piece. It would be a shame if Frank went through life known as Sue. ;)
As a token of my thanks for your help, whoever comes up with the winning title will receive your choice of either a pack of 8 note cards or a small sketch*. The winner will be announced here on my blog in next Thursday's post.
Now it's time to put on those thinking caps and let the fun begin!!

* The titling contest will run until Wednesday, April 25th at 5pm EST. If the winner chooses the sketch as their prize, the size and subject matter will be determined by me.

Newest Cupcake Painting

Fresh off my painting board is my newest painting of cupcakes.
These little lovelies were baked by my neighbor, who has forever ruined me for store bought frosting. Her frosting is so good that I even enjoy the vanilla. This from a chocolate lovin' girl!
I am considering the image below as an alternate crop. What do you think?
