My studio name is 'Painted Souls' but not all my work relates to the word 'souls.' Is that a problem?

No, it’s not a problem at all. You can find a connection between ‘souls’ and virtually any subject you paint—trees, humans, animals, fruit, landscapes. You’re creative enough to explain how souls inspire your work or exist in your paintings, whether it’s human souls, animal souls, or the soul of nature. Your studio name doesn’t have to literally describe every single piece you create. It’s the name you chose, and it works beautifully as an umbrella for everything you do.
