Watercolor study after Winslow Homer

9 x 12 "

Watercolor on Paper

Winslow Homer, one of my all

time favorite artists. I picked up a book

about him at the library the other day, that had

some nice examples of his watercolors.

Here is my study of the Pumpkin Patch.

There was one light source which helped
to give a strong contrast of the shadow on the table.
