Artwork Description

Watercolour on paper

Signed on the front.

What compels painters to give their works a title? Musicians don't sit there and mull over what to call their latest composition just to comply with the culture police's expectations. Mozart wrote hundreds of orchestral pieces that were identified by no more than a number with the letter K in front of it.
Imagine a painter trying to get away with that!
I nearly gave it a go with this one. And why not. "Sheep at Sunrise" is not only patently obvious, but quite pathetic. Of course it's bloody sheep grazing in a paddock at sunset, sorry sunrise! But what's the alternative? Some utterly pretentious, meaningless contrivance designed to impress the impressionable, no less. Pass.
