This beautifully rendered traditional painting shows an oilskin clad fisherman casting his line into the river at the base of a surging "Waterfall in the Adirondacks". As he sits on the fallen trees, the fish leap from the water, almost begging to be caught. The painting is executed in greens and ochres and you can almost feel the spray of the fall as it splashes into the river below. Fishing has always been relaxing, but with this calming painting by Homer, you can have that same feeling at home.Homer believed that art should be realistic and claimed that an artist should never look at pictures but, instead, should look at nature itself.
