During the last decade of his storied life, renowned American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910) would each year pack his brushes and paints, shutter his home on the Maine coast, and escape New England’s winter for a season spent fishing in Cuba, the Bahamas or on Florida’s St. Johns and Homosassa rivers. The rivers and natural beauty of the Florida landscape would inspire the artist to create over several years a series of watercolor paintings that are today considered by many as some of the most expressive works of the 19th- and early 20th-century. What distinguishes Homer’s impressionist paintings from those of more traditional, old-school artists comes in part from the approach he took in creating them. Rejecting staid artistic conventions, Homer broke long-established rules by taking his painting out of the studio and into the outdoors, capturing the natural elements of light, motion and color, and creating with them works of enduring beauty and expression. Created and crafted in the unbridled spirit of this great American artist, adventurer and sportsman, Winslow’s Blend is a tribute not only to the artist, but to the creative power that is within us all. |
