Name This Painting. . .

. . . and the chosen titler will receive a token of my appreciation! (That means a prize, but not a huge one.)

Unnamed Barn, formerly known as Tulare County Barn, 10×10″ oil painting on wrapped canvas

You might remember this painting from last year’s show called Images of Home. It was titled “Tulare County Barn”, because the show was about Tulare County images. Duh.

This painting will be entered in the Madera Ag Art Show. Madera is 2 counties away. (They might not even know how to pronounce “Too-Larry” there!)

Titles matter. particularly in a juried (Shall we let this piece in our show?) and judged (Hmmm, that looks like a first place!) show.

The last time I entered the show, you helped me name my pencil drawing of a barn and tractor. Your choices were wonderful, better than what my mind could conceive.

Will you help me choose the new title for this painting? The suggester of the winning title will receive a prize. Haven’t decided what. I should be able to figure that out on my own. . .

THANK YOU, THANK YOU in advance for your help!

Contests need deadlines – how about July 18? That’s a Wednesday.

  9. Historical Future

    This is obviously an old barn. At some point it was brand new. The view we have of it now,.. is of its future state as opposed to the view of it when it was new. So the view is of the “historical future.”

  12. Hahaha, where’s the beef…

  14. Brings memories of my grandfather’s barn where we spent hours jumping into the hay…so much fun! It was the “original” jump house. That’s it, The “Original” Jump House

    • Linda, how about “Bounce Barn”? That’d confuse the jurors of the show! Great story – thanks for sharing.
