Mary Penny's Lovely and Lyrical Fuchsia Flowers Watercolor, Early 1900s antique wooden bookends with the seal carved and

with the seal carved and polished to a very satisfying smoothness

because they are such lovely and useful things

with the three black dogs pulling that green sled

though it could make for some pretty creative and dramatic arrangements

But even amid many

Mary Penny's Lovely and Lyrical Fuchsia Flowers Watercolor, Early 1900s antique wooden bookends with the seal carved andThough the flowers here are "Fuchsia Flowers," the color of them is more blood red, such that at first I wanted to call them Bleeding Hearts, and they're somewhat similar the way they hang down. Really quite a lyrical watercolor, with great combination of delicacy (those fine trails of orange stems) and boldness (lush green leaves). I have to think painted from nature by Mary Penny's of the "fifth class." Lovely. 7 3 4" x 5 1 8". Very good condition.
