Take your pick?

Pick and run?
Pick Me! Pick Me!
Pick of the bunch?
What clever title should I put on this??? I am not really into clever titles.


I am so glad I went forward with this lesson ... my students thought it was a crazy lesson (although they learned from it). I am anxious for them to view this finished piece and see if any of them went on to work on their own.

I was taught decades ago by my mentor and first watercolor teacher that it is NOT the subject but the fresh way it is painted that is the goal ..... what do you think the subject was??????

  1. Yours has to be the fourth one......It's clarity, shadow, intricacy is superior. Hope I'm right. I knew I would enjoy seeing these.

  2. I agree with Carol. It's always funny how the most ordinary things can create such great imagery. Nice to meet another artist!

  3. Pick Me Up?
    Pick It to Me, Baby?
    Tickle Me Pick?
    Pick of the Day?
    Pick Forks?
    Perfect Pick?

    Just having some fun. The fourth is yours, but the others did quite well.

  4. Yes, the fourth one is mine but I thought my students did a good job, especially with all the complaining they did (ha).

    I am leaning towards Pick of the Day for the title.
