Prout’s Neck, Evening
1894
Winslow Homer captured the moody, atmospheric coast of Maine in this stunning watercolor from 1894. He spent the last two decades of his life living in a converted carriage house right on the edge of Prout's Neck, letting the crashing waves and changing skies become his constant companions. The dramatic band of white light cutting through the heavy, slate-grey clouds creates a breathtaking sense of isolation and quiet power. You can almost feel the salty sea breeze just by looking at the rough, dark rocks in the foreground.
