Sunlight on a building (1937), by the Scottish artist James Proudfoot.
Morning Sun, by Samuel Birch.
Monhegan Island, by Rockwell Kent.
All three paintings courtesy of
Richard Morris, art historian and art journalist. His knowledge about precious late 19th Century/early 20th Century paintings which have thus far escaped attention of the broader public - and even many people rather knowledgeable in art - is encyclopedic.

If you are not yet on twitter, making an account for the sole purpose of reading only his tweets is worthwhile!
Good night. Oh yes, I think I should tell you... August 20, 2023 is an historic date for this here humble blog...
...since today we passed the magical treshold of 2,000,000 pageviews. Since 2003! Which means that on average, DowneastBlog attracted over the years some 100,000 PVs per year, or about 273 a day. Very modest of course, but still... it means that I do not intend to stop just yet!
