WINSLOW HOMER - Repro of much loved painting
THE FASCINATION OF WATER.
In my experience most people have an inbuilt primeval fascination with water, so it comes as no surprise that subject matter associating with it is a very common occurrence.
In my case this is definitely true and not just from an artists point of view. In my younger days sailing on the Norfolk Broads and rowing competitively for my school were the norm. As well as the above, freshwater fishing provided important reset days of just sitting spell bound by hypnotic rivers, lakes and canals watching the wildlife and nature in general. My love of natural history and environment stem from these experiences in my youth.
