Back we are, at Kissebükü.

But are we on the shore under the umbrella, or are we on “La Mer”?

I had a very hard time with this painting. It just did not know what it wanted to be.
As a result, it went through several stages before it was finished (and silly me forgot to photograph them!).
Finally, it is finished. If you consider a painting without a title finished.

Personally, I think titles are very important for giving insight into what is going on in the work. In this case, I am having a very hard time finding a title, because I am still not sure what is going on in this work! I’ve given it the tentative title of “La Mer” – for “La Mer: The Boat” as well as for “La Mer: The Sea”

70x70cm, oil on paper.

If you think you’ve got a better title, please share it with me.

Thanks!
