When we look at Winslow Homer's art, we know that we are looking at his creations. Whenever we might imagine that we see a non-physical object, an illusion, in a work of his art, we should no longer dismiss that perception as our projection, but should realize that it is worth taking a better look. We should take note of that instance and attempt to determine whether it is an illusion Homer may have seen and reproduced as a suggestion in his work, and that we perceived it by our sufficient knowledge of his memories and the use of our imagination. If we think it is, while we see it, at that moment our mind and the spirit of his mind are connecting through our perception. This is equally true for the allusions, ideas that he thought and then managed to allude to by clues in his works. We know that through his physical artwork we can perceive non-physical things that only existed in his mind, connecting to those ideas by the use of our imagination.
