Some themes will be familiar to readers of his books: his daughters, Penobscot Bay in Maine, boats, seagulls, island life. Some will be less familiar: sensitive portraits of youthful friends, lively studies of Greece and Europe, affectionate sketches of pets, luminous figures of men, women and children in Mexico and the Caribbean.
