He had a studio built for him, which was completed in 1884, and painted marine subjects, including the hard lives of the fishermen and their families. He increasingly chose to depict the sea itself, and was especially attracted to stormy seas. During this period he painted a wide array of seascapes such as ''The Gulf Stream'' (1899), ''Moonlight – Wood's Island Light'' (1886), ''Northeaster'' (1895) and ''Early Morning After a Storm at Sea'' (1902). Many of his paintings depict the battlefront of the sea and the shore, and the waves crashing onto the rocky shore. It has been said that they "are among the strongest expressions in all art of the power and dangerous beauty of the sea". ''Northeaster'' shows the waves while the Northeaster blows. Northeasters are storms along the upper East Coast of the United States that derive their name from the direction of the wind as it rotates onto land. The painting dates from 1895, but Homer reworked it by 1901.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Collection - Northeaster )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=global.britannica.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maritime Art Event )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Meeting_the_New_Century )〕
