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.
