If you seek you shall find

Yet another reason to love Uncle Google - I'm reading Stephen King's Duma Key and he mentions several paintings by name. The book is about art, visual art, and before the interwebs I would usually not know what a writer meant when they talked about a specific piece. But now I can usually find some site somewhere with an image. This came in especially handy when we were reading Daniel Pinkwater's The Artsy Smartsy Club as paintings were integral to the story.

So far I've found the following art mentioned in Duma Key:

Thomas Benton Hart - The Hailstorm. http://www.artchive.com/artchive/B/benton/hailstorm.jpg.html

Edward Hopper - 11 a.m.

Winslow Homer - Undertow

All three are powerful paintings and looking at them adds another dimension to King's work.
