Four More Days!
The Name This Painting! contest ends on at the end of the day on this Thursday, April 30 so there’s plenty of time to submit your idea for a title for the painting shown here, one painted for my upcoming 10th annual show at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA. If your title is chosen you’ll receive a prize (I’m not saying what it is except to say you won’t be disappointed) and even if you’re not the prizewinner your title will be listed on the back of the painting, to be seen by, hopefully, generations to come.
You can submit by commenting on this post or via e-mail at info@gcmyers.com
I’ve been really pleased by the titles that have come so far. It’s apparent that some thought has went into these, making this a very tough decision.
The titles submitted thus far:
Multiple Layers
Brilliant Determination
History Lesson
Memory
Remembrance
Smooth Foundations
Simple Foundations
Rooted in Terra Firma
Layer Cake
Time Rising
Standing on History
This Is the Day…
Layers: Memento Mori
So, take a moment to look at the painting and give it a shot. I can use the help and maybe you’ll walk away with a prize. What have you got to lose?
Redtree Times 
How about ‘Reaching for the Sky’
I like it…
Another:
Time Heaves All
My entry: “Time Soluble”.
Tom, good to hear from you. “Time Soluble” is on the list!
‘Strata past’
‘interval of time’
‘and on we go’
‘that which lies beneath’
Red Tree No. 148
Thanks, Al. I think it might be a slightly higher number however…
Hmm….
“Above and below”
Thanks. By the way, I like your work as shown on your site.
“From Mother to Daughter”
I like this title because of the reference to Mother Earth or Nature, who is giving and nurturing the life of the “daughter” tree. Also, I believe that the layers in the piece could be representative of the generations that have come before and whose history and support we, like the tree, rely on to make us strong.
Erin, thanks for the wonderful, detailed definition. “From Mother to Daughter” is under consideration…
