Violet Hilda Drummond Art

1911-2000

Violet Hilda Drummond was born in London. Drummond's father was killed at Ypres in 1914 whilst fighting with the Scots Guards. Brought up by her mother and her two sisters, she was educated in a private boarding school in Eastbourne and at Le château de Vitry-sur-Seine, a Parisian finishing school. Drummond lived in India and studied briefly at St Martin's School of art. She returned to London after she got married and started writing and illustrating children’s picture books. The most notable among them was Miss Anna Truly in 1945 and her Little Laura series from 1960 onwards. She also produced cartoons for the BBC. Mrs Easter and the Stork published in 1957 by Faber & Faber was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal. Tiring of writing children’s books, she took to painting watercolors of London street scenes which she sold in galleries in London and which have remained popular ever since.

This original watercolor landscape tells a fascinating story of cross-cultural artistic exchange between Japan and America at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is by Yamada Baske, who was born Fukawa Jin Basuke (1869–1934). COMPOSITION: The composition captures a serene rural Japanese landscape blanketed in a heavy spring mist. In the foreground, an elegant, leaning cherry blossom tree dominates the left frame. In the mid-ground, a quiet riverbank path leads the viewer's eye toward thatched-roof farmhouses nestled under a soft horizon. The cherry blossom tree symbolizes ephemerality, renewal and the beautiful, fleeting nature of life. Baske’s hallmark use of a bleached, light-blanched color palette heightens this sense of a dreamy, vanishing memory or a fleeting moment in time. ARTIST: Born in Tokyo, Baske immigrated to the United States in 1885. He studied at prestigious institutions like the Art Students' League in New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, training under the renowned American Impressionist William Merritt Chase. Baske subsequently split his life between America and Japan, notably teaching watercolor classes in Minneapolis and at the Tokyo Fine Art School. In 1906, when this work was completed, he was a fully established, highly regarded artist working primarily in the Northeast—specifically around Philadelphia and New York. He became famous for his gauzy, light-infused watercolor landscapes that introduced Western impressionist...

Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Additional images available upon request. 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...
