ReplyDeleteHello Katherine,
Yes, I did recognise the style and the subject matter, Winslow Homer was fond of the dramatic nature of nature. I found it on Wikimedia Commons.

How I found it .. I thought i was never going to find this one, I searched with all the obvious words and found a Winslow Homer that seemed similar, searched him and still couldn`t find it . Went out ,looked again, still thought it was him, did a really careful search and then found it.

Bernadette Madden again.....I thought you might be amused by this... I typed in" cougar climbing tree "when I was searching and the first image that came up was of a naked older lady sprawled across the branch of a tree!

I am getting old, knew who painted it, but sat trying to remember his name for ten minutes. Oh Well!

Given the colours and obvious location, it had to be either Homer or Sargent. A quick search on google images turned up the answer

Well, I haven’t done too well guessing the “Who Painted this" so far, but here is my submission for #34:
Title: In the Jungle, Florida
Artist: Winslow Homer
Date: 1904
Media: transparent watercolor with touches of opaque
Size 35.2x50 cm
Residing currently at the Brooklyn Museum
How did I know this? For 32 years I taught high school drawing and painting at San Clemente High in San Clemente CA.
Every semester I would have the students present an art history unit at the end of the semester as part of their final exam.
In my dual (and simultaneous) career as a professional artist, I was painting large-scale watercolors, and was always researching in books to study the works of the masters of watercolor.
I loved the purity and “quirkiness” of Homers watercolors done in Florida, so different than the somber tones of his Adirondack pieces, of the marine and lifesaving pieces.
I remember this both from my research and oral reports students created based on Homer’s watercolors.
Apart from that, color and design, the reality of nature, the excellent drawing and sure bold technique give this away as a Winslow Homer watercolor.
Thank you, Katherine—you yourself do a wonderful work on this blog, and I appreciate your drawings!

ReplyDeleteHi, Katherine - I actually knew this one right off: Winslow Homer. I think he painted it in the Everglades and I may have seen it in the show at the Chicago Art Institute in 2008 or maybe a library book. I love his paintings and I named my traveling bear (inspired by Liz Steel and tired of traveling alone) Winslow after the great painter. I try not to call him Winnie. Love your blog and good luck with the new glasses. I developed an epiretinal membrane in my left eye and it scrambles my vision a bit and I often just close it an use the right eye so I have a bit of an idea of how worrying it is to have ones vision messed up. But you have a great attitude and I know you will do well. Hope all is well and easier for you soon. Pat Wafer, Madison, Wi.
