One of the highlights of our D.C. trip was visiting the National Gallery of Art, where my mother used to take me when I was a child. Winslow Homer was her favorite artist, though she preferred Breezing Up to this one, Undertow. Breezing Up is displayed at the gallery. Undertow is not, but I always liked its depiction of humanity against nature. It’s apparently based on a rescue of two women pulled under while wading in the surf which Homer witnessed in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
