I am looking for the title and artist of a certain painting. This painting is a seascape portrait. A girl with red hair is standing up to her ankles in the ocean. The painting is a back view of the girl. She is wearing a hat with a white bow, and is holding the hat with her right hand. She is wearing a pink-purple dress that she is lifting with her left hand. The blue, white, and green shades of the ocean dominate the color palette of the painting. |

Hello, I think I may have your answer for you! Searching for &quot;beach painting girl&quot; on google.com, I found a link to this gallery's website (which follows below). The name of the painting is &quot;Girl On The Beach&quot; and the artist is Rex Shaw. You can also purchase the actual oil on canvas painting for $19.99 plus shipping from this link. Hope I helped!

The description of the painting's content is very good, but some other clues would be helpful. Is there any quality of the painting that would allow you to place it in a certain art era or style, e.g. french impressionism, american folk art, etc.? Where have you seen this painting before? Technically, at this point, it could be a Monet or it could be something your next-door neighbor painted, so any backround/circumstantial info would help the researcher a lot. Thanks. |

Researcher would seem correct here. There seems no reason to credit researcher with only one star when she answered question correctly on the basis of the info supplied. |

Actually, it doens't match the description exactly. It's very close, but not quite. |

I'm with John. There just wasn't enough information provided - we can't see what the questioner sees. This answer, while not the spot on match the questioner wanted, was wholly undeserving of such a poor rating. |

Well this may not be right, but Ill try to get you one step closer. If by girl you meant child, this could well be your painting Playing At the Beach by Christa Kieffer The painting feels right based on your description especially the dark color of the water that clearly dominates. http://www.allposters.com/ The link will take you to AllPosters Homepage. From there you will have to type in a search for the artist and scan the thumbnails. There doesnt seem to be a way to link you directly to the painting itself. Also on that site: Another one of a child, but her hands are down, one on her hip is (and with less-dramatic ocean) Michael Hallinan, At the Seaside 1 I found MANY paintings of young women (rather than children) similar to, but not exactly what you described. I get a clear sense that women staring wistfully off at the ocean holding their hats against the wind is a common theme! Philip Wilson Steer Young Woman at the Beach (woman in purple dress sitting on piling) Frank Weston Benson (lots of windblown redheads at the beach, but mostly in groups) And of course Renoir and Monet, but I dindt find anything exact in that collection. To find what I did, I did several searches at AllPosters combining the terms woman, child, girl, beach, ocean, wading, and hat. Good Luck with your search for the missing redhead ..

Skermit has the opportunity to respond in a clarification with the proper answer (keep searching, ask for more info, etc.). I think this is the best way to increase the rating. A questioner, especially one who is paying for an answer, should be able to reserve the right to rate someone low who does not find the right answer. To a researcher, _almost right_ should NEVER be good enough. However, the questioner needs to be reasonable enough to provide a second chance if the researcher chooses to clarify. Just my $0.02. |

To clarify my description of the painting, the girl is completely surrounded by the ocean. There is no view of the beach, only of the water. The water is painted in pastel colors, and contains very light shades of blue, white, green, yellow, and purple. The girl looks to be a young lady, no older than 18. The girl's dress has a base of purple and is highlighted with pink. Her hat is light brown and is highlighted with very light, whited down brown. The hat bow is white with purple and pink shadows. She is lifting her dress with her left thumb and index finger, and her other three fingers are held of to the side. The lifted dress hangs a couple of inches above her knees. She is alone in the ocean, there is no other person or object in the painting. The painting is either oils or acrylics, definitely not watercolors. It doesn't look like a Monet, it could be French. Not completely realistic, maybe impressionistic. I'm not sure when or where it was painted. I bought it in A.C. Moore a few weeks ago. I hope this helps. |
