DescriptionWhile the beauty of the sea and coastline may have been a key source of inspiration for many painters, the courage and daring of those who made their living in the rough coastal waters of Maine was equally inspiring. Andrew Winter, who worked as a seaman before becoming a painter, knew from personal experience the risks of life at sea. Monhegan Lobsterman conveys the formidable power of the sea through the use of dark colors and dynamic brushstrokes.On View
