Hosta Takeover

Amantha Tsaros, Hosta Takeover,  16x12",  ©2011
Sometimes titles are hard to find. I have had to offer contests and prizes to get the right name for a painting. And for most of my new exhibit, Fickle Forecasts, I've turned to the Old  Farmer's Almanac for inspiration. I read the  Almanac looking for titles and descriptions that pertain to the individual paintings. A few times, I picked up the book without putting on my glasses and came up more with original names. What was printed as "fewer frills" became "Fever Frills".

Other paintings name themselves. The title of my new hosta painting just grew naturally out of of staring at hostas for so long. What else could I have name it?
