Life-Size Black Bass — Homer Pillow

In January 1904, late in his career, Winslow Homer traveled to Homosassa, Florida, to fish, producing this watercolor among his final tropical works. He placed the huge, brightly colored fish close to the viewer and cropped the composition tightly to heighten the drama of the catch, suspending the bass ambiguously between life and death. The watercolor is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. I have wanted something by Homer since college, and Life-Size Black Bass was the one to get. It suits an old brick house better than anything I found at the stores around Atlanta. An easy five stars from me.
This is genuinely one of the nicest things we own now. The colors in Life-Size Black Bass are richer than any version I found online. The seller replied to my question in under a hour.
Four stars because it is excellent and I paid a little more than I wanted to. 🙂
I kept checking the tracking because I could not wait for it to get here. I bought this for Life-Size Black Bass and got far more than I paid for. Perfect from start to finish.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. The clarity of Life-Size Black Bass makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. The materials are noticeably better than the last two things I ordered online. I am thrilled with the whole experience.
