Again from the 1940's is this abstract watercolor of Multnomah Falls in Oregon. Having hiked and painted this locality myself, I am going to guess that she was working from either a photograph or memory. Given the time frame she would have had little time or money to make the journey to this location.This the oldest of her watercolors and I had never seen this hanging in any of her homes in the Portland area. So, not real sure as to why she never hung it.
Again, it had been mounted in a acidic cardboard frame, which had crumbled due to age and moisture. Amazingly, the painting was done on high quality paper and so did not suffer.
Hope to have this one archival framed and on my wall this year. :^)
