About the Item
A gorgeous American Impressionist watercolor painting of a serene lagoon in a brown/orange monochrome palette by Ritchie Allen Benson (American, 1914-1991). Titled "Misty Lagoon." Presented in a wood frame. Signed "R. A. Benson" lower left. Framed size: 25"H x 31"W. Image: 23.5"W x 17.5"H.
Ritchie A. Benson grew up in the Los Angeles area during the World War 11 era. By the late 1950s, he was studying watercolor painting and by the 1960s was exhibiting on a national level. He spent a great deal of time painting along the California coast and was most interested in producing works which pictured boats and harbor scenes.
His watercolors were sold through the Challis Gallery in Laguna Beach and through art association exhibition sales. Although he continued to paint occasionally in Southern California, most of Bensen's later works were done in Mendocino, California, or farther north in Washington state where he spent a lot of time painting on the beaches and in the harbors.
Ritchie studied at the Art Center School (Los Angeles) and was a member of the American Watercolor Society and the California Watercolor Society.
