Painting Naming Contest Winner Announced!
Earlier this summer I finished a painting and had a contest to name the painting. I received many entries from all over the United States. I must admit it was a difficult decision. I have never allowed someone else to name something I had put so much work into before, so it was a little bit of a stretch for me. Here was the painting:
Some of my favorite entries of the contest were:
"Blueberry Savannah" -Emma G. from Columbia, MO
"Forrest Storm" -Donna Q. from Costa Mesa, CA
"Refuge" -Scott H. from Yulee, FL
"Only the Crows Survived" -Gordon G. from Silverdale, WA
"EVE'S ETERNAL DECISION" -Justin G. from Lakeland, FL
"Inversion on the Sea" -Kelley G. from Costa Mesa, CA
"Tree of Life" -Burton D. from Torrance, CA
"Africa" -Kirsten K. from Ladera Ranch, CA
Congratulations to all these entries. They will receive 50% off of any thing created by myself, Nathan Gibbs on DefineArt.com.
It was very difficult as I said earlier to choose from all the entries. Each of the entries made complete and total sense from the creative aspect of the art. So after long deliberation I decided to chose the name,
"Tree of Life" -Burton D. from Torrance, CA
Burton included a very good explanation of the name as well, which kid of put his entry over the top. Here it is:
TREE of Life: TREE ROOTS sprout ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
