Titles;...sometimes they come easy..and sometimes they don't....they are necessary....and sometimes I think of song titles that might fit...I wanted to use "Walk don't Run"...it popped into my head and I thought that it fit perfectly, but...that's not my title, it belongs to The Ventures ...yes, it's surf and beach...because I seem to be gathering all my work from collective memories of the beach....Anyway, I came up with an alternative...Rosewater Beach Party...which has been shortened to Rosewater beach, or just Rosewater :)
This painting is Raw...and un-fussed with! I put it down bravely one morning on canvas with exuberance and child-like joy...and I just plain "felt" it. ...like I said , it's kind of raw and thinly painted ...but it is pure and deliberate!...and I hope will lead on to the next better painting. :)
This painting has sold through Meyer Vogl Gallery, Charleston, SC
