Monday, June 20th, 8:20 p.m.  

And the Winner is:

“SABLE SPIRIT” entered by Aleshia Kiedaisch.  Congratulations Aleshia!

We laboured over this for several hours and then the difficult task fell to me to select “the one.”  I will say that it was much harder to do than I would have thought as there are so many great names.  Thank you again to all who entered and shared their suggestions.  Cheers,  Joan

I’m stumped.  I have not been able to come up with a title for this artwork that accurately reflects the quirky expression on this horse’s face.  So I thought that I would like some help with the naming.

Hence the “Name the Painting” Contest

Simply email your suggestion(s) to me at joan@joanlarson.com Subject line “contest” That’s it! (I also encourage you to check out my Facebook fan page for my most recent updates.)

The winning name will be announced on Monday, June 20th and the winner will receive a limited edition print of the artwork.

Nice and easy!
