West Point Prout s Neck

Realism

The story

This has been captured fifteen minutes after sunset, not one minute more. Homer himself insisted on that. Should be easy when you have a camera with a button to click on. He needed more time: many evenings tracking the shifting colors of the Atlantic sky from the same viewpoint near his studio. Observation. A lot of observation. Then, one day, he was ready and painted what he named "the best thing I have painted".
