Happy New Year! Here are four paintings from a few years ago when I was painting in a more stylized manner. They're all based on plein air paintings made at Trundy Point on Cape Elizabeth Maine, not far from where Winslow Homer painted.

These are each 30" x 30" oil on canvas (available)

"According to the art historian Charles Colbert, the usual practice of painters in this period ‘was to let the horizon fade into visual and conceptual insignificance’. But in Homer the horizon does not recede; it pitches forward, towards our world."

#WinslowHomer (1836-1910) painted this astonishing #watercolour “The #GulfStream” in 1899. His paintings often investigate the relationship between humans and the #NaturalWorld. In the light of the #ClimateEmergency, they are perhaps more relevant than ever. Look at those massive #sharks!!!!

En ‘Escena de playa’ no me centro en la alegría que #WinslowHomer duplicó en los reflejos de la infancia. Veo ‘la fragilidad de la existencia humana’ que #Bruegel pintó en ‘Paisaje invernal con patinadores y trampa para pájaros’. Quizá, al verlos vulnerables, puedas #EmocionArte.
