Winslow Homer--Fishing for Ouananiche, Lake St. John, P.Q. Canada, no.2, 1902
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
"Winslow homer knew the importance of the flash of sun on antlers and the curve of a fly rod against morning mist. A dedicated outdoorsman, he got up at 3 on summer mornings before going to work at his first and only steady job (two years at a lithographer's) to fish a pond near Boston.
"Homer was a New Englander who got his start as a Civil War artist-reporter. After the war his specialty became the American outdoors. Hunting, fishing and boating occupied him increasingly and became the subjects for such elegant, forceful paintings...
"The Ouananciche, a rare landlocked salmon, is striking as well...
"The Adirondacks, with their abundance of fish and game, attracted Homer as much as the Canadian woods. He spent a good deal of time in this New York wilderness and here found some of his favorite models and most dramatic subjects."
