Color Palette- With loose, fluid brushstrokes, Hawthorne suggests the boats, cottages, and shore of this vibrant Cape Cod harbor while still emphasizing the flat surface of the canvas.
- This canvas depicts Hyannisport, though Hawthorne spent most of his time in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He founded the Cape Cod School of Art there after helping to run William Merritt Chase’s school on Long Island. The town attracted many artists, and Hawthorne became known as the “father” of the art colony.
- This sketch, with its vivid color and spontaneous approach, is much closer to the Impressionist spirit than the careful drawing and somber tones of Hawthorne's figural works.
