About the Item

Anna Mary Richards Brewster (1870-1952) Plant Study Pencil and gouache on gray paper, 5 7/8 x 7 7/8 inches (14.9 x 20 cm) Signed and dated lower right: AMR Jul 28. Provenance The artist; Estate of above; Eleanor Price, daughter of above, by descent from above; Edith Ballinger Price, daughter of above, by descent from above; Estate of above; Private collection, by descent from above Anna Richards Brewster is the daughter of the great marine painter William Trost Richards. Her father's reputation always precedes her own; however, Anna was an accomplished artist in her own right. As with most artist's children, Brewster's initial style was tight and detailed, much like her father's. This pencil drawing of the vegetation found on the forest floor clearly reveals the influence of her father's early Pre-Raphaelite nature studies. However, it also demonstrates Anna's own significant drawing skills, particularly her ability to capture and accurately record the wealth of detail found in the natural world. Brewster's training began with her father, and by the age of fourteen she was exhibiting at the National Academy in New York. In 1888 she studied with Dennis Miller Bunker at the Cowles Art School and later studied with John LaFarge and William Merritt Chase. Like so many American artists working at that time, Brewster traveled to Paris to study at the Academie Julien. She eventually made her way to England and stayed there for nine years. After her marriage to William Tenney Brewster, the couple settled in Scarsdale, New York, where she founded the Scarsdale Art Association. After Brewster's death in 1952, her husband compiled four volumes of her sketches. Her paintings can be found in numerous American museums and private collections.

Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork "Flowers" c.1980 is a watercolor on heavy watercolor paper by California artist Charlotte Huntley. It is signed and dated at the lower right corner by the artist. The size is 28.25 x 20 inches. It is in excellent condition, the colors are fresh and bright, has never been framed. About the artist: Charlotte Huntley might have been a renowned graffiti artist – her earliest work consisted of drawing on walls. But fate intervened and she learned to control these urges with a formal education at Scripps College, Chouinard School of Art, and the Los Angeles County Art Institute. These early tendencies reemerged not just in painting, but in other artistic ways as well, to the benefit of community theaters in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago. She spent years as a professional puppeteer and set designer, and developing her own unique watercolor painting style. Charlotte’s use of pointillism. Charlotte Huntley AWS, June Workshop Instructor “Charlotte Huntley has special insights into color and fresh approaches to cliche subject matter. Her work in watercolor is truly unique. Charlotte adapts the Pointillism of Seurat and other post-Impressionists and makes it her own in watercolor. With Pointillism, distinct points of primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary colors. The technique relies on the perceptive ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to mix the color spots into a fuller range of tones. Charlotte truly makes the most of this style of painting. Over her illustrious career, Huntley has been awarded a signature membership in 29 watercolor societies, including the American Watercolor Society, California Watercolor Association, Transparent Watercolor Soc. of America, Northwest Watercolor Society, and Watercolor West. Overall, Charlotte has received 45 Awards in National Exhibitions since 2000 – an impressive achievement This imaginative Watercolor Artist has had over 575 paintings accepted in National Juried Art Exhibitions in 46 states, also Canada and Puerto Rico, with 113 Awards. Charlotte has proven to be a popular Juror, knowledgeable Juror, inspiring Workshop Instructor, and an Award-winning Author.The work of Charlotte Huntley is held in collections in the U.S. Canada and Puerto Rico as well as in some European country.
