One of a kind ( OOAK ) Title is in notes " Sagebrush covered foot hills sage brush on dry grass in ______? Down from beneath drove 2 pine trees in Johnson's Pasture , May 3, 1939. Helen tore her sketch up and threw it away in disgust " One word, I cannot discern. .

Beautiful historic ( these are close to being antique and are one of a kind, OOAK, also, the landscapes would appear different now and some may not exist as they did, all these decades ago ). watercolor painting on paper The paper is from an old sketch book by M. Grumbacher.. The artist is a listed artist,a scientist and geologist, chemist, geo chemist and botanical painter and illustrator. His name is Jerome D. Laudermilk ( 1893 - 1956 ) an American Listed Artist, and this is 100% accurate in provenance, though he did not sign the painting, he did personalize notes in the border of painting, in his own hand writing. Condition is very good and clean on actual painting and good condition in blank margins. The matte is cracked and split in 1 place, NOT the painting.He intentionally matted most of his paintings, and paper was NOT archival or acid free in the 1930's, so there are some strong age patina's marks on the front and back of painting. I wrote the provenance in back in pencil. The paper matte he adhered is very fragile His method, was to adhere the matte's on top of the painting, and glue on the top blank margin only. Size is approximately 4.5 inches by7 inches. Copyright and all rights reserved by artist.
