"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Water.

Winslow Homer was a master at rendering water.

As a painter he spent a great deal of his career depicting it in watercolor.

Bermuda.

Bahamas.

England.

Maine.

Key West.

But my favorites are the images from his time spent in The Adirondack Mountains.

The rich depth of color combined with the ethereal blending of the pigments are appealing to me.

Here's my favorite.

You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors.
-Winslow Homer
