Bright yellow flowers and white seeds contrast against a rusty blue background. Signed in the bottom right, "Edith Bruning." Presented in a new cream-colored mat. Mat size: 20"H x 16"W Paper size: 12"H x 10"W Image size: 11"H x 8.5"W Edith Elizabeth Thunen Bruning (American, 1899-1961) was born in Oroville, CA on July 6, 1899. Bruning studied at Chico State University. After settling in Santa Rosa, she taught school for a few years before her marriage to Wm Bruning. The wild flowers of the Valley of the Moon provided much of her subject matter. She died in Santa Rosa on June 15, 1961. Member: League of American Pen Women. Exh: GGIE, 1939; Worden Gallery (SF), 1939. Edan Hughes, "Artists in California, 1786-1940"
