My tribute to one of humankind's great minds and brave hearts: Charles Darwin. This gourd mounts easily on the wall. There's a hole about as big around as pencil on the back of it. Just line the hole up on the nail head or screw and it's mounted. The gourd has a lid. That recycled wine cork on top is the handle. You can stash your trash and treasure inside. Upcycled bottle caps spell out I HEART DARWIN. Mr. Darwin sports a walking fish lapel pin.
Oil on canvas
In Homer's last canvas, a lone protagonist attempts to collect a large piece of driftwood that has been carried to the rocky shore at Prouts Neck. The man's task seems futile. Seen from behind, he is a surrogate not only for the artist facing death, but also for the many sailors Homer depicted confronting the enduring power of nature over the years. Homer died in his Prouts Neck studio in September 1910, at the age of 74.

Winslow Homer: Force of Nature
(September 2022 – January 2023)
[A]n overview of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), the great American Realist painter who confronted the leading issues facing the United States, and its relationship with both Europe and the Caribbean world, in the final decades of the 19th century.
Homer’s career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life, to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer’s interest in the pressing issues of his time; conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment – issues still relevant for us today.
After the war, Homer’s subject became the lives of Americans in the wake of the war and abolition with a focus on the lives of formerly enslaved African Americans.
Homer travelled to France, England, the Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda. In England, he painted scenes of heroism and resilience that he saw while staying in Cullercoats, a town on the North East coast. In the Caribbean, his paintings became more vivid as he painted the transparent turquoise waters and lush vegetation. His interest in conflict remained constant and he often explored the issue through painting the life and struggles of Black people.
With more than fifty paintings, covering over forty years of Homer’s career, 'Winslow Homer: Force of Nature' is part of a programme of exhibitions that introduce major American artists to a UK and European audience and follows on from our exhibitions about George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.

Oil on canvas
Two women sew a young man into his costume as the Lord of Misrule, a character from Jonkonnu (or Junkanoo), a celebration of endurance and resistance in many transatlantic enslaved cultures. Directly after the Civil War, newly emancipated Americans started celebrating Independence Day as a commemoration of Black liberation, incorporating aspects of Jonkonnu. The painting's original title was Sketch - 4th of July in Virginia, and two children hold small American flags. Homer painted it the year federal troops withdrew from former Confederate states. In the decades that followed, such celebrations of freedom would be suppressed in the South.

Sterkfontein, South Africa. -- where, in 1947, Dr Robert Broom, discovered a perfectly preserved adult Australopithecus africanus cranium, belonging to the 2.5-million-year-old "Mrs Ples." It's easy to imagine -- looking out over the bush -- looking back 2.5 million years.
