About the Item

George David Yater was an American painter associated with the Cape Cod School of Art. He was best known for watercolors. Yater's work has been exhibited by major galleries like the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. He studied on scholarship at the John Herron Art School and summered at the Cape School of Art in the 1930s. Though his first solo show sold no works, Yater persisted, supported by WPA funds. He had a second solo show in 1938. Yater was born in Indiana in 1910 and passed away in 1993. This quiet and skillful watercolor bears a number of the artist’s hallmarks: emotive, narrative composition; a tender but bold hand with light and shadow; and muted but distinct use of color. These elements continue to be featured in the works of many New England landscape painters today.

    Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Landscape view of the Grand Canyon ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
