I have a broad range of interests in art. I started out at the University of Utah as a fine arts major in painting and drawing and my interest in art has never diminished. This is one of my favorite paintings. This one happens to be by Winslow Homer. He was from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I lived when I was very young. Here is a comment from the Wikipedia article about Homer and the painting.
Breezing Up, Homer's iconic painting of a father and three boys out for a spirited sail, received wide praise. The New York Tribune wrote, "There is no picture in this exhibition, nor can we remember when there has been a picture in any exhibition, that can be named alongside this."
