As the title states, I am painting as if I have a show coming, because I do. Exeter’s Courthouse Gallery, November and December, specific dates undetermined as of yet.
This one looks finished when viewed from the back of a fast horse. However, there are no horses allowed in the Courthouse Gallery, fast or slow. 
Therefore, I spent another morning on the 12×24″ oil painting, cleverly titled “Yokohl”.
Next, I rephotographed the 12×24″ oil painting with the not very original title of “Looking East II”. (Honestly, finding great titles is a challenge when I paint the same subjects multiple times.) The smoke was not very evident, so I was able to get a photo without a weird orange tint.
Next, I did a tiny bit of adjustments on the 12×24″ oil painting cleverly titled “Alta Alpenglow”. It might actually be “Alta Alpenglow” II or III or even IV, but I chosen not to count this particular view. Maybe instead of numbers, they could be Title Good, Title Better, and Title Best. But then what would I call #4?
But wait! There’s more!
You’ll have to come back tomorrow.

I always love seeing Sawtooth in your paintings, even if it’s just a peek (ha, get it?) in the distance!
And maybe you can call the subsequent paintings, good, better, best, superbest (or bestest?)!
Sharon, it is a pleasure to communicate with someone who knows the difference between “peek” and “peak”.
We might be able to conjure up names for up to 4 versions, but some of these series of paintings go up to the thirties, and with oranges (still life style), there were over 100!
Hmmm, I can think of two other subjects for which your count probably exceeds 100!
(Hint, they are approximately 19 miles apart!)
I’m up to about 38 on the bridge, and the Crowley Cabin with Farewell Gap has been given many different names.
