Winslow Homer, Incoming Tide, Scarboro, Maine, 1883


You have the sky overhead giving one light; then the reflected light from whatever reflects; then the direct light of the sun; so that, in the blending and suffusing of these several luminations, there is no such thing as a line to be seen anywhere.
- Winslow Homer
