With reference to ~7markus7 's comments I must express my opinion that as far as abstract art is concerned the title seems to be an inevitable part of the whole piece. Obviously you may name the piece: "untitled" and give the freedom of interpretation, but with abstract art the title is very often more relevant than in any other kind of art, it's almost like an integral part. And by that I mean not necessarily naming a piece of art with a word which the object can be easily associated with - it's sometimes more about, like you said, accidentally heard words that seem to match. Nevertheless, I see this in your painting, well-done.
I notice that you also name your paintings as they presented something that really exist,like coaster (a ship) or building,but they are abstract paintings,that present nothing but themselves.I occosionally name my abstracts using the same principle.This way of naming paintings gives the spectators a lead to which way their associations about the picture should go.Should the wiewers have the lead or would it be better that their associations flew free?
Naming my painting is important for me. There are several ways of naming them: sometimes, when I am working I hear a sentence, some words in the radio, and it matches. It is an association between what I am feeling during the process, and the words flowing around, and that I catch. Other time, I have an idea before beginning. And other time, when the painting is finished, I see something real in it, and I name it. I have experienced that the viewers who do not know much about art like to have some words to make them enter in an abstract painting. I am glad if it helps. Most of the time, people who know do not need a title to apreciate (or not) an abstract work. So I am used to name my paintings mainly for myself: it is the final touch
I have given some thought to these naming matters lately;yes,the name is the final touch,that can give direction to a painting,it can add humour,or other mood to a painting that otherwise could be a little emotionless,it can be used to apply a paradox to a work and many other things,when i name my pictures it usually happens on the side of other things,when doing something else,then the name just comes out from somewhere,without much of conscious thinking,very much alike you just described your naming process.
