Story
Nell Walker Warner was a force of nature in the American art scene, often traveling from her home in California to the East Coast to capture the legendary light of Cape Ann.
Maker / Origin
Born in Nebraska and later becoming a pillar of the California art community, Nell Walker Warner served as the president of the Women's Art Club of Laguna Beach.
Condition & Value
The painting appears to be in very good vintage condition with the paint film remaining stable despite the heavy impasto. There is some minor surface dust and the frame shows light age-appropriate wear. A professional light cleaning would likely make the lavender and ochre tones pop even more brilliantly.
