About the Item
A beautiful watercolor still life of Japanese Iris bonsai by longtime Santa Cruz, CA resident Cordelia de Gavere, c.1930's. Signed "Cor de Gavere" lower right. Unframed. Image, 18"H x 16"L.
Cordelia de Gavere was born in Java, became orphaned at age six, and then raised by an aunt and uncle in north Holland. From an early age, she showed interest in drawing and painting. At the age of 30, she began studies at the Royal Academy of the Hague, and devoted herself wholly to her art.
At the age of 43, she moved to Santa Cruz, CA with her friend Wilhelmina Von Tonningen, whose brother lived in the area. From this time on, Cor was a prolific painter and found a warm, welcoming community among the Dutch expats living in the area.
Cor was one of three women who were the foundation of the Santa Cruz Art League from the 1920s through the 1940s. While visiting family in Holland in 1955, Cor died peacefully. Biography information taken from Santa Cruz Public Library publication "Cor de Gavere: Paintings and Drawings."

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 that lasted 17-years. Beginning in 1992, she studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike...
