I just finished my latest painting, and I can't think of a name for it!  Do you feel like helping me out? Post your suggestions here over the next few days, and the one I like best of all will win a free set of five greeting cards featuring this image.  The painting is 25" x 12" x 1.25" (If you would like to know what it will sell for in the OASIS Gallery, email me.)  Thanks, have fun!

"They Have Listened to The Choir"--it's what my mom used to tell people when she'd go visiting to deliver the Sunday flowers to people--that she was bringing them flowers that had listened to the choir, and the sermon, and if they looked at them they'd hear them too. :) Beautiful painting, Jimmie!

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils
Wordsworth
I am trying to find inspiration for a name if you could tel me a bit more about it and the background blues and purples is it a wall or glass or just shapes with squiggles. not to simplify your lovely work just to find out more info.

"A jocund company"

(also Wordsworth..)
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 13, 2007, 7:29pm EDT
Audrey, Anne M. Kim and Carolyn..thanks! Interesting suggestions. ;)

Carolyn, you forced me to refer to a dictionary! "Jocund" is defined as "full of or expressing high-spirited merriment; light-hearted; mirthful" by Dictionary.com.

I'd never heard of it!
Carolyn Madden Apr 13, 2007, 7:55pm EDT
lol yup Jim, I had to look it up too. But on reading Wordsworth's Daffodils in order to seek inspiration I thought that bit in the third stanza was most appropriate considering the swirling blues in your painting..

"The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:-
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company"

And I neglected to say, very pretty painting.
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 13, 2007, 8:30pm EDT
wow! that's awesome! thanks so much!

thanks for the compliment as well
Kay S. Apr 14, 2007, 1:00pm EDT
Jimmie, your artwork is absolutely awesome! And I think the titles that have been suggested are equally awesome. There are so many talented people on Gather.
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 14, 2007, 1:02pm EDT
Thank, Your Majesty, I am so honored to have you drop by. This is available for your palace at a very reasonable price! ;)

This is beautiful and so much like sunshine melted into Daffodils. Thank you. Salud.
Jimmie (Hey! Let's Gather!) Harris Apr 14, 2007, 1:05pm EDT
"Sunshine melted into daffodils"? Wow! You do have a way with words!
No clue on the title but I love the painting!
Felicia R. May 25, 2007, 8:20am EDT
