Apologies for the break! Summer has been a whirlwind but happy to be back!

This piece was suggest by a good friend of the collection and I think it was a brilliant call out. In really looking at it, I don't know that I ever noticed the beauty of the A moody and elegant moment. The richness of the scenery and the lamp offers a gorgeous unique source of backlight.

#painter #oiloncanvas #composition #illustrator  #goldenageofillustrators #walterheverett #roaring20s #illustrationart #narrativepaint Cover art for The Ladies Home Journal, May 1914.

Over his career, Walter H Everett illustrated dozens of works for The Ladies Home Journal between 1902 and 1935. It was one of the first magazine's that he was published in and, as far as we can tell, Harper's Bazaar, June 1918.

#walterheverett #painter #oiloncanvas #storyart #illustrationart #goldenageofillustration #arthistorynerd #narrativepainting #illustrator #brandywineschoolofart #composition #instaartist "Stream Behind the House" - date and publication unknown.

I often overlooked this piece as I was captured by the more iconic figurative works that he did. But the simplicity and quiet calm of the work is growing on me. 

Do you have any wo Another work that is distinctive of a latter career style - blocks of light and limiting the palette two just a few colors (in this case three colors: pink, green and brown). I really wish I knew where the original was and what this story is here!

R Fruit blossoms - a watercolor. 

One of several lost works but a beauty to behold. The sure and steady hand. The soft elegant color palate. And that classic blocked style of light reflection that we've seen in many of his later oils and watercolors.
Oil on canvas. One of a relatively few landscapes that we know of by Walter H Everett. We call it "Field of Wheat". I love the details of the brush strokes, the rich use of color, and the inviting composition which seems to welcome you on a A woman, a young boy, and a model boat. The colors of the leaves are what calls to me...
