Winslow Homer, High Cliff, Coast of Maine (1894)


During a break in today's program, I walked a couple of blocks to the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum to poke about. It was actually a bit disappointing (special exhibits not to my liking) until I happened upon Winslow Homer's High Cliff, Coast of Maine and just stopped. This photo, taken with the miserable camera on my smartphone, doesn't nearly do it justice. I expect most people walk right past this with barely a glance, but then most people didn't grow up near this and move away over a decade ago.
