Thank you for all the replies. I guess it does come down to intent mostly.

I was on another forum talking about how I hate to name paintings. I have trouble with it. I use up my creativity on the visual and can not always come up with a good title. That is one of the reasons I have "Flowers & Friut I" through "Flowers & Fruit VI". I was asking how important the names really were and this is a good example. The names of paintings can tell us sometimes if they are portraits or figuratives. If I names the above painting "Dailey by the Stream" it would be seen differently I imagine. (Then again, with her name someone might think I misspelled daily).
