Ready for a rebrand, Cilei and I looked through a list of names of abstract paintings I had done over the years and picked out a few that sounded catchy like cactopus, lemon sunset, the blue house, la parapluie rouge, and many more. While catchy, those names were already taken by bands and organizations. Finally, Gum Drop Tornado came up empty on a google search, no Facebook page, no Instagram tag, and no mention of it to be found, until now! The main thing was to have a catchy and original moniker that makes people curious. The painting done in 2012 was a surrealist scene of a field of grass inundated with a psychedelic display from above. I actually named the painting last year when making my art catalogue. So I will try this re-brand for awhile across the platforms and blogger.
Gum Drop Tornado, 6.5 x 6.5", cold press watercolour, 2012 (No. 1581)
This name was also totally original, no signs of pineapple hypnotism on the internet. You are feeling sleepy. Look into my eyes. Imagine pineapples swirling into a colourful vortex. I dig this painting. What were you smoking? Dude, where's my car?
