We're back from a trip to visit family in Massachusetts, and we felt very lucky to be there during a beautiful Winslow Homer exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts.
Above, The Blue Boat by Winslow Homer in 1892.
The Of Light and Air: Winslow Homer in Watercolor exhibit runs through 19 January 2026, so if you're in the Boston area and have an interest in Homer's watercolors (as well as a few bonus oil paintings, e.g., The Fog Warning), I recommend trying to get to the MFA! There are also lots of photos and videos with additional details on the MFA's website (see link above).

Winslow Homer has always been one of my favorite American artists so Thanks, Jackie, for sharing the link to the MFA. I spent an hour today on their website, calling up all the Homer paintings they provided links to.
The quality of those museum images, even enlarged to a full computer screen, is so much brighter and more detailed than one can ever obtain from a book.
Yes! The MFA did a great job with their online reproductions.
This was my first time seeing Homer paintings in person and I was struck by their vividness, which as you say isn't really appreciated in books. I'll also mention that there is a book accompanying this exhibit -- Winslow Homer in Watercolor which is very well done and worth seeing if you're a fan. :)
