I sometimes fall out of the habit, but I try to select a title for each new piece before I place any paint on the canvas. The idea behind this being, that every time I touch it, I’m doing so with the title/meaning of the painting in mind. What I hadn’t considered before now, is naming it even before I put the texture on. This piece has thick and heavy texture that I actually applied in two phases with the sky being one of my main focal points to represent the title.
