TITLE: Gulf Stream NAME: Jim Charter COUNTRY: US EMAIL: jrcsurvey@aol.com TOPIC: Horror COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. JPGFILE: gulfstre.jpg RENDERER USED: POV-Ray TOOLS USED: PSP RENDER TIME: 10 min IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The idea was to translate from the vocabulary of painting to the vocabulary of ray-tracing Winslow Homer's painting "Gulf Stream". I think the painting sublimates one of the great primitive dreads into a more universal statement. I hoped to bring attention to this 19th century blend of grit and beauty. Unfortunately, even with a whole year to work with, I ran out of time. The label by the painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY mentions that Homer began the painting in October 1899. It doesn't say when he finished.
