For me the acid test is watercolor, because it can't be worked over or corrected. What you see is what you get, and Homer is brilliant in the medium. Homer's watercolors are amazing. I saw a show of his at Yale years ago, and one watercolor had the smallest bits of paper showing through to give the effect of sunset light on the water. I could not see how he did it. The paper shining through seemed to be the size of pinpricks. It was wonderful.

If I had all the money in the world, I would have a VERY nice small art collection and a beautiful home to house it in . . . and Homer's watercolors would figure prominently.
