Description |
The drawing depicts the Seine River in Paris. The river is flanked on either side by buildings. On the river are barges moored along the banks. Colors are shades of blue, tan, red and yellow. This is one of several hundred small sketches done by Marjorie Lyon. As a child Marjorie took painting lessons one summer with Mrs. Lulu Pratt, and another with Hannah Drury, both of Bristol. One of her earliest watercolors was done in 1897 when she was 13. Another watercolor dates to around 1900 when she was 16 years old. Marjorie's love of painting blossomed in her late 60's after her husband, George Lyon, died. |
