Several visitors to a gallery here have witnessed a lone traveler on the road through the woods.
The figures appear briefly. Sometimes a women is seen and other times a man watching over the cemetery. It has been reported that both are dressed in 1800 period clothing. It is curious that Homer Watson himself often painted the landscape with a lone traveler on a winding road. In some of his paintings, such as Waning Summer Day the traveler is seen only by some of the viewers. Other times the traveler is not seen at all.” – Faith Hieblinger, Executive Director, Homer Watson House & Gallery
