The oceans waves crash along the rocky coast of Maine. Homer took refuge in Maine for thirty years and the upper right corner of the painting you can see two small figures that was a hint of humanity.
This painting is a land/sea scape but it brings the coast of Maine alive and how beautiful the waves crash against the coast. This painting reminds me of the ocean in which, I love thats how I came across to choose this painting.
