Description |
The drawing depicts a park in Monte Carlo. There is a pond surrounded by grass and trees. Colors are shades of red, green 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 60s after her husband, George Lyon, died. She then went to Europe almost every spring for the rest of her life, painting and drawing. |
