| Physical Description: | Watercolor painting on paper; still life of orange geranium plant in clay pot. |
| Description: | Bob Engard taught at the WPA Spokane Art Center with Vanessa Helder where they shared a studio and painted from potted plants in 1940 and 1941. Engard believes Helder brought this painting with her when she moved to Spokane because the painting exhibits less vitality than her paintings of the 1940's in which she employed strong contrasts of light, shadow, and color. Another clue is the signature that includes the distinctive "Z", a format she adopted around 1935 and used for the rest of her career. Taken together these observations place the date of this painting between 1935 and 1939 before her Spokane tenure. |
