Homer

As I explored the Museum of Fine Arts, I came upon a portrait that I enjoyed. As I looked at this work of art longer and longer, I decided I wanted to do my Fine Arts paper on "Driftwood" by Winslow Homer. The painting is located in the Gund Gallery and adjacent to the Fenway stairs. Being secluded because of a beam, much attention is drawn to this magnificent painting. It is especially protected due …

…the willingness of a man with a rope to try and save a tree in an almost life threatening situation. Each viewer can interpret the content in a number of ways, but that is what I believe Homer was trying to capture. It is a beautiful piece of work and a reference for anyone who is looking for determination. How can one man move that large tree? He looks determined and that's all that matters.
