That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 18, 2012

Oh my, I thought that was his oar.

Don’t think that’ll take too much thinkin’, just go fer it.

Or, ‘watering the lilly’

“Now where’s that bog… my back teeth are floating higher than my canoe!”

You’re all so naive. He’s obviously scouting locations for dumping bodies.

In the old days in the UK it was known as “committing a public nuisance” and carried a hefty fine.

When you are where he is. You’re in natures out house.

And it’s a wonderful place to live.

Unfortunately, he was caught on canvas and fined. This is why the painting can be found in fine arts.

After paddling clear across the lake, Mr. Homer realizes that he forgot to load his fishing gear.

Where’s Leaky?

yes, yes i have…

I’m sure old Winslow peed in the wilderness many, many times

First, inspect the area carefully.

No, examine is a better word.

Enlarged (different coloration) available from here. You can enlarge the (another coloration) image in this article by clicking the image and then green spyglass here. According to this, 1870 is part of the title, which this says is the first year the artist visited the area. So far, only (good enlargement of that coloration by clicking image there) work by this artist to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.

That caption ruined the mood of the painting. One of my LR murals was based on a Homer painting with ships. I played the song Ebbtide as I painted it (about 20’ long x 8’ tall)..Thanks, Mabrndt, one of your links led me to this good article on Melcher in LA Times with 2 of the paintings I don’t remember seeing yet. http://tinyurl.com/yzq3kke
