OFFERED HERE IS AN OUTSTANDING OIL ONCANVAS BY ELINOR BROOKS OF CALIFON,NEW JERSEY.IT IS FROM THE EARLY 30\'S AND TITLED ON A LABEL ON THE REAR \"OLD MILL STREAM\". IT IS ALSO SIGNED BY HER ON THIS LABEL (NOT SIGNED ON FRONT). IT DEPICTS A MILL ALONG A STREAM WITH BUILDINGS SURROUNDING IT, ALSO TREES, AND A MOUNTAIN IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS A SCENE OF A MILL IN CALIFON, NEW JERSEY, WHICH WAS TORN DOWN MANY YEARS AGO. GREAT USE OF COLORS, INCLUDING BLUES, GREENS,YELLOWS,BROWNS AND PURPLES, CREATING A VERY SOPHISTICATED PALLETTE! I LOVE ALSO THE REFLECTION IN THE WATER AND THE ROCKS IN THE WATER. THIS PAINTING REPRESENTSAMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM AT ITS BEST,HOWEVER, SINCE IT WAS DONE BY A WOMAN,ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT OR HER HAS BEEN LOST THROUGH TIME.IT MEASURES 20\" BY 20\" UNFRAMED AND FRAMED IT MEASURES 24\" BY 24\".THE FRAME APPEARS ORIGINAL TO THE PAINTING. IT HAS WEAR TO THE GESSO. ON THE REAR OF THE FRAME AND THE TOP OF THE STRETCHER IS AN OLD LABEL THAT GIVES THE TITLE, THE PRICE OF $65.00 AND HER NAME AND CALIFON,NEW JERSEY AND A TELEPHONE NUMBER-10 R22 (PARTY LINE?) THE FRAME ALSO HAS A LABEL FROM JOHN NIGHLAND IN MONTCLAIR,NEW JERSEY. THERE ARE THREE SMALL CHIPS TO THE PAINTING THAT ARE SHOWN IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS. THERE IS ONE IN THE GREY BUILDING, ONE ON THE ROOF OF THE MILL, AND ONE IN THE TREES. THERE IS LIGHT CRACELATURE IN SOME SPOTS OF THE PAINTING.THE PAINTING WAS PURCHASED BY MEAT AN ESTATE SALE NEAR CALIFON,NEW JERSEY MANY YEARS AGO.COULD USE A LIGHT CLEANING AND A CAPABLE RESTORER COULD TAKE CARE OF THE CHIPS AT THAT TIME. THIS PAINTING CERTAINLY DESERVES THAT!
