Purchased from the Hoosier Salon in 1941. The first watercolor to be added to the Tri Kappa collection is the fruit of many hours spent in that interesting town ... the artist reports that he had time with the sun for this particular picture ... realizing he needed sunlight for his painting he picked a bright day, had the preliminary sketching done and then the sun refused to cooperate further, disappearing and leaving him to wait several days before he could again work upon the picture ... Indianapolis News art critic writing of the picture ''usual boat scene, but done this time with the finesse of a man who can, when he wishes, handle fine lines with the skill of a juggler.'' ... Born at Stockton, California into an artistic family ... finished his elementary schooling and a course at the Hopkins Art Institute to take a position on the art staff of the San Francisco Examiner when he was 17 ... later studied at Julien Academy, Paris, and London School of Art ... recognized as a painter in oils and watercolors ... added illustration and bookplate designing ... received five awards from American Bookplate Society and two from Bookplate Association International ... lived Oak Park, Illinois, summers in New England ... works show at National Art Club of New York, Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg, and many others. |
