For some reason naming things is fun. Perhaps, too, it is a privilege, as illustrated in the Dylan tune, "Man gave names to all the animals, in the beginning."Biologists enjoy naming new plants and astronomers new planets. We all enjoy the tussle of coming up with just the right names for our sons or daughters. And Hollywood stars often begin their careers coming up with a "stage name" for themselves. Cars, dormitories, businesses, streets and books all have names. And so do most of the 130+ pieces in my art show here in Duluth during the month of July.
Here are just a few of the titles I had fun coming up with:

Well, you get the picture. Or maybe you don't since the pictures are there and not here. But naming is fun for sure.
The show is open to the public throughout the month of July. You can see these and other pieces at The Venue @ Mohaupt Block at 2024 West Superior Street in Duluth. The Open House will be held on Tuesday, July 21 from 6 - 9 p.m. and everyone reading this is invited.
In the meantime, have a great day.
