While this painting of Garth's would have received high accolades even if it was titled "A Kid Sunbathing," I often think there may be something behind the idea of intriguing titles.
Years ago I submitted a rather odd but mostly uninteresting landscape to a few shows and it was rejected every time. I had titled it something like, "California Sunset" or something similarly bland. Then my husband suggested the title "Left New York at 5:03". It was accepted into the next show I entered. Who knows!
