1940's Original Oil Painting of Cheerful Yellow Roses by Nell Walker Warner
Antony Anderson, art critic of the Los Angeles Times, stated Nell Walker Shostrum Warner (American, 1891-1970) was one of the ablest flower painters America has produced. This beautiful 1940s oil painting of cheerful yellow roses is no exception. Three full petaled yellow roses are offset with green foliage blurring into backdrop of sky and earth. Daubs of unblended paint is very pleasing to the eye and accent this nicely balanced composition.

Born near Falls City, Nebraska on April 1, 1891, Nell Walker graduated from the Lexington, MO Women's College in 1910. Following a brief teaching assignment in Colorado Springs, she moved to Los Angeles and studied at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design, receiving a diploma in 1916. She then taught art classes at the Hollywood School for Girls and the Westlake School for Girls (1916-1918) and later did backgrounds for titles of silent motion pictures.
After her marriage to Dr. Bion S. Warner in 1920, she traveled in Europe and spent three summers in Cape Ann (MA) where she painted many harbor scenes; however, southern California remained her home.
During the 1920s she was art curator of the Tuesday Afternoon Club and further studied locally with Nicolai Fechin, Fritz Werner, and Paul Lauritz in Los Angeles.
Although divorced from her first husband, she continued to use his name professionally even after she married Emil Shorstrom in 1945. In 1952 they moved north to Carmel where she remained until her death on Nov. 30, 1970. Antony Anderson, art critic of the Los Angeles Times, stated that she was one of the ablest flower painters America has produced. Her work also includes landscapes of California and New England coast.

Nell Walker Warner
Nell Walker Warner was born in Richardson County, Nebraska. She was educated in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and graduated from the Lexington College in Missouri in 1910. She moved to California in 1916, where she studied and graduated from the Los Angeles School of Art and Design. After her marriage to Dr. Bion Smith Warner in 1920, the couple settled in La Cañada Flintridge. During the 1920s, Warner was the curator of the Tuesday Afternoon Club in Los Angeles and further studied with Nicolai Fechin, Paul Lauritz and Fritz Werner. Warner’s floral paintings are radiant; an article in the Christian Science Monitor stated, “California flowers allow Nell Walker Warner to continue a work that has acclaimed her America's foremost painter of flowers.” Anthony Anderson, Los Angeles Times critic, characterized Warner as “Possibly one of the ablest painters of flower studies America has ever produced.” Although best known for her floral still lifes, Warner's versatility as a painter can be seen in her California landscapes and her works from three summers spent in Maine and New England painting fishing boats, wharves and surf. Financially secure, Warner was able to travel abroad and further study with French and Spanish masters. In 1950, she moved to Carmel, where she remained until her death.
