The good news is, no need for all that rigamarole if I want to change the name of one of my paintings—I just change it!

After I posted the paintings I did over the weekend with Caroline and Emmy, I got a text from my nephew Stuart who's about to graduate from Tulane:

Love that what you took from this post was my (presumed!) braininess!

Isn't it fun to have a new look at paintings? I wasn't particularly pleased with this one—I unintentionally smeared ink as I worked, for one thing—and I don't love it as a completed piece, BUT I just LOVE that it spoke to my nephew and that he texted me with the brain cortical neuron imagery!!!

Ya gotta wonder why my husband thinks abstract art is nonrepresentational! Cortical neurons, desert wind turbines—can't he see??!

Looking forward to following the links you've provided. Thanks!
