A Winslow Homer Recreation for my Aunt

My aunt and her significant other love fishing, I'm talking die-hard fish lovers. I hear stories how he had no money and just ate what he could catch at the ocean. It just so happens that one of my all-time favorite paintings is a painting by Winslow Homer called, The Fog Warning. It's a beautiful image of a man heading out to sea in his little row boat. He clearly caught some fish this day and he looks over his shoulder at the approaching weather and powers forward. It's a beautiful statement and skillful work of art. I don't pretend to hold a candle to the likes of ole' Winslow, but that didn't stop me from wanting to study his method on this one, which turned into a lovely gift:


Poorly cropped, I know. What's your favorite fishing painting?
