Have you ever felt the quiet drama of a storm rolling in over the ocean?

In 1894, Winslow Homer captured exactly that feeling in "Sunshine and Shadow, Prout's Neck." Working along the rugged coastline of Maine, he used fluid brushstrokes to place us right on the rocky shore. You can almost smell the salt air and the scrubby juniper bushes.

What makes this watercolor so brilliant is what Homer didn't paint. He used the bare white of the paper itself to create the illusion of bright sunlight piercing through the heavy, gray-blue clouds. It was laid down quickly, showing his absolute mastery over the medium.

The resulting mood is both contemplative and just a little bit ominous. It perfectly mirrors those moments in life when we pause to witness nature's raw, unfiltered power. It is the perfect piece to bring a grounding, atmospheric energy into your home.
