OFFICERS' BEACH

9 x 6 inch ink and watercolor painting by George C. Clark    National Veterans Art Museum Collection

Comment:
In gallery exhibitions this painting appears without caption.  I think the wedding band says it all.  I'm sure it's different now, but in the 1960s I was struck by how many career army guys with fundamentalist families back in North Carolina seemed to really enjoy their periodic deployments to the fleshpots of Asia.
