DescriptionWalter Farndon traveled the east coast of the United States and Canada painting coastal scenes, including Monhegan Island and Gloucester. Schooner in Monhegan Harbor demonstrates Farndon’s ability to apply vibrant color and brushwork to picturesque harbor scenes. Over the years, the artist developed an Impressionist style that followed his personal dictum, "Color should be put on the canvas at once, brightly, briskly, and right."On View
