Can't resist--learning to post pictures here.
A friend sent me this image to invite me to a Winslow Homer exhibit down at the Portland Museum of Art. I've always loved this painting, since seeing it on a school art trip in 6th grade. I'm pretty sure it was painted in Scarborough, about 5 miles from where I grew up, and very near a spot I still hunt a couple of times a year. (This would be the open water side, and I don't have the cojones that the hunter in the painting does to hunt out there in a canoe. But the puddlers and geese love the back side salt marsh.)
I'm pretty sure this
If I were a cynic, I'd suspect old Winslow hid in the dunes till those two geese landed in the pocket, then ground-sluiced them!
