Sparked by the pastoral intern working with me this year, and fueled by your post on Homer Winslow, I have just lauched my own WebLog, i.e. blog.

You might recognize the Homer print in the heading.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'd very much like to get a copy myself. And thanks also for the extensive comments on the book. I hope that a few other FF&W readers enjoy Homer's work as much as you and I.

The book was published in conjunction with the exhibition Casting a Spell: Winslow Homer, Artist and Angler which first appeared in museums in San Francisco and Fort Worth. This is a beautiful work that includes not only many Homer works, but also a number of other early American art pieces devoted to fish and fishing. The book also has chapters devoted to several delightful essays by art history professors and museum curators. The seven chapters include such offerings as "Fishing and the Fraternal Bond in Winslow Homer's Art," "Pictures for Anglers," "The Fly-fishing Stories in Winslow Homer's Art," "Winslow Home: Time in the Adirondacks," and "Before Winslow Homer: The Art of Fishing in the United States." Your readers might enjoy this one also, and this is one book that has lots of 'pictures' of a theme we love. Blessings, Dan Jason,
