Description 
On View through July 25 Winslow Homer: The Pleasures of Summer Woodhouse Gallery This exhibition focuses on Winslow Homer, as both painter and illustrator, who took as his subject matter the pleasures of summertime. He depicted young adults and children on beaches, hiking on trails and riding on bridle paths. In virtually all these images, the idyllic weather, youthful figures, and cleansing freshness of incoming tides, mountain streams, and flowering meadows speak of a new beginning, a healing of American society after the national trauma of the Civil War.
