the style is similar, but, like you, don't recognize it.(hardly a
walking catalog of his work here, but still, certain stylistic aspects
look different).
Nice painting, nonetheless. Phil should try and locate it, if indeed
he misplaced it.

It's more abstract than a typical Homer, and there are what I consider
to be faults in the left foreground water (which is crudely done, in
general), but I think that might be because it was a quick and
unfinished study. In any case, the original would be a treasure if it is
a Homer.


BTW, and sorry for responding to my own post, but fishing boats of all
types and situations -- moored, anchored, sailing into harbor, you name
it -- were a favorite theme of Homer's. His most well-known ones are of
Key West, of which this one obviously is not.
