This watercolor depicts a cluster of palm trees reflected in a tranquil body of water in Florida, rendered with loose, expressive brushwork. It is one of many works produced by Homer during his extensive travels through the southern United States.
Did you know?
Winslow Homer traveled to Florida in the winter of 1885-1886 to seek relief from the cold northern climate and to explore new subject matter. The vibrant light and lush, exotic scenery of the southern swamplands deeply influenced his watercolor technique, allowing him to transition from the more rigid commercial illustrations of his early career to a freer, more atmospheric style.
