Eleanor Holding a Shell, 1902, by Frank W. BensonHe
was born in Salem, MA. In 1879, he began study at the School of
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and later at the Academie Julian
in Paris, France. Upon return to America, he would become an instructor
at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. His paintings
often depict his daughters outdoors at Benson's summer home on the
island of North Haven, ME. He also did a series of paintings and
etchings of wildfowl.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
