[LCSH] Landscape painting--United States. [LCSH] Description An account of the resource One sheet of watercolor paper is painted on both sides, with one side showing a terrestrial landscape with trees (side A) and the other showing an aquatic landscape with waterlilies (side B). Side A depicts deciduous trees in summertime. There are two distinct frames in this painting. In the left-hand frame is a grove of what look to be paper birch trees; there are five, thin trees. They are white, with blue-gray shading and green foliage created by dabbing spots of green paint with a wet brush. Variations in the ratio of pigment to water create different shades of green for the foliage and the crowns are somewhat sparse and airy. The tree trunks and branches are angular and formed from straight lines. The foreground here is dark brown and green. At the base of the trees there are small white circular shapes in clusters connected by white lines. This effect may have been created with the use of masking fluid. Also at the base of the trees is dark green spattering as well as more solid-looking blobs in the same dark green; this may be representative of shrubs. The remainder of the land surrounding the trees is flat and grass-covered and painted in muted, transparent browns and greens, and the sky here is painted in varying saturations of pale blue. The right-hand frame shows a different type of tree, with deep brown bark accented with black lines which run from the roots of the tree to the uppermost branches. The tree has four visible roots and three main branches. This tree is curvy, with soft angles and lines and has an impression of massiveness. It's painted close to the foreground, and there are reddish-brown splotches around the base of the tree that probably represent bushes, perhaps dogwoods, although the could be any number of things. There are also errant purple spatters of paint in the foreground of this frame (which creep ever so slightly into the left-hand frame also). The foliage on this tree is a deeper, darker green and more saturated. The horizon behind the tree is irregular; in some places along the same axis grass is depicted behind the tree, and in some places, deep blue sky. This was probably considered a mistake and not intentional, however, this piece appears to have been created for practice and not intended to be a polished piece. (For example, a large portion of all four corners of the paper are white, where the paper was taped down to the working surface.) The shade of grass in the background differs slightly between the two frames here, being darker on the right-hand side, and lighter on the left. There are occasional burgundy spatters across the right hand frame which creep over somewhat into the left-hand frame, probably unintentionally. There's some embossed lettering-- TH SAU, perhaps?-- probably spelling out the brand of the paper, in the bottom, left-hand corner. The painting on the other side of the paper shows the scene with waterlilies. There are two flowers, one in the center foreground, and one in the right background (in the upper right quadrant of the painting). Both flowers are white, with thin, elongated petals and gold-yellow stamens. Shading on the flower petals is conveyed via blue and blue-gray highlights. There are a total of eight lily pads in all, and they are a dark green; the lily pads farthest in the background have a slighter lighter saturation than those in the front. The stems of the lilies are represented as broken, usually squiggly lines and appear throughout the picture. The background in this image is composed of shades of deep burgundies and blue, with blue concentrated primarily in the foreground, with the transition to primarily burgundy taking place somewhere in the middleground. The background fades near the right and left edges of the painting, as the wet paint appears to have been pulled from the center of the paper toward the edges; nor does the paint extend in all places to the edge of the paper at the top and bottom of the painting. The edges of the paper are irregular and rough on two of the four sides; on the lily pad painting, the rough edges are the bottom and left, and they are the right and bottom on the tree painting side. The paper seems to be medium weight, cold pressed.

Title A name given to the resource Nude landscape I Subject The topic of the resource Watercolor painting--United States--20th century. [LCSH] Surrealism [LCSH] Self-portraits [LCSH] Female nude in art [LCSH] Women in art [LCSH] Description An account of the resource Pen and watercolor painting depicts a surreal scene painted from the artist's perspective looking down at her unclothed body re-imagined as a natural landscape. The figure is lying on her back, her knees up and slightly separated; her left arm, visible from the elbow up, and her left hand appear as a brown tree trunk. Trees in this painting feature detailing in black ink on the trunks; the leafy crowns are mostly green, with blue, yellow, and brown highlights and they are outlined in back ink. One tree is growing from the left thumb, while a smaller, leafy offshoot projects from the right side of the arm, between elbow and wrist. The woman's body, visible from the neck down, is painted in shades of greens and yellows, with some detail work in pen on the chest. Breasts, ribs, and stomach resemble rolling terrain and a tree grows up from the pubic area. A bright pink and orange sun, outlined in black ink, is either setting or rising between her thighs; orange paint has smudged slightly from the top of the sun into the sky, which has been left unpainted and is thus the off-white color of the watercolor paper itself. Another smudge, this time pink, appears about 4 centimeters above the top of the sun. Additionally, some blue pigment appears in the background, about 5 centimeters from the top of the paper, and runs from the midline of the paper to the right edge; it is unclear whether this mark was made intentionally by the artist. Beneath the woman's body, the land is green and blue, with dark blue silhouetting along the edges of the body and along the horizon. Approximately one to two centimeters along the bottom edge of the painting are left empty, except where the artist has titled the painting <em>Nude Landscape I</em> (bottom, left corner) and signed her name (as J. Gillett) in the bottom, right-hand corner. There are several strips of invisible, acetate tape along the left edge of the painting, as well as tape along the bottom and across each corner except the top left. There is some slight discoloration of the paper itself, which is obvious in places that were left unpainted. The paper was clearly removed from a spiral bound pad, which was bound at the top; the tabs from the spiral binding are largely still attached. The paper is somewhat crinkled in a few places, as well and a small chunk is missing from the top left corner. The paper is medium-lightweight with a medium grain and is portrait-orientation, taller than it is wide.

[LCSH] Trees in art [LCSH] Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical object Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context JG_0015 Description An account of the resource Watercolor painting shows an autumn landscape with a stand of trees in the middleground, a body of water in the foreground, and a clear, blue sky in the background. The trees stand in a grouping; seven can distinctly be made out. Their foliage is mostly red and orange with some of the lower leaves on the trees in the front of the stand and toward the back left of the stand still displaying some fading shades of green-brown. The foliage is somewhat sparse and created by dabbing paint rather than brushing it on. A handful of small paint spatters intended for the foliage escape and mar the sky. The shoreline is covered in vegetation in shades of brown and olive green using paint splattering and dabbing techniques. A solid line is visible underneath in places, however, between the land and sky; it's unclear whether that line is painted or is part of an underlying pencil sketch. The shoreline and trees are reflected in the blue water that runs the width of the lower third of the painting. The reflection appears to extend past the confines of the painting. Ripples in the water are depicted in a lighter color blue. The edges of the paper are irregular on three of the four sides; the only perfectly smooth, even edge is the left one. The bottom and right edges are deckled, while the top has clearly been cut with scissors. The paper is medium weight and likely cold pressed.

Title A name given to the resource [Watercolor painting of a forest from a distance] Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context JG_0001 Subject The topic of the resource Watercolor painting--United States. [LCSH] Landscape painting--United States. [LCSH] Trees in art [LCSH] Description An account of the resource Watercolor painting shows a forest in the distance. The painting is done in shades of brown and green. Colors range from opaque to transparent, with the foreground generally being darker and more opaque than the background. Trees vary in their solidity, with some merely being suggested. The foliage, in particular, is amorphous; only the tree trunks and branches are distinct. The tree branches and trunks vary in color from a lighter, burnt sienna brown to a very dark, chocolate brown. Three white projections in the foreground may be trees, but it's unclear; they do not have any leaves and are extremely abstract. White circles and near-circles, absent paint, appear in the foreground of the painting and it's not immediately clear what they are meant to represent, either. There are plenty of open spaces in the forest as well, and vegetation is suggested in these areas, perhaps shrubs, although the painting is loosely styled, so that can only be speculation. In all, the painting only takes up about between a third and half of the total surface area of the paper. The image is located about halfway between the top to bottom of the paper, and stretches the full width of the paper. The shape of the paper is somewhat irregular; it was clearly cut down from a larger piece of watercolor paper. The top edge is deckled; the other edges were trimmed, unevenly, with scissors. This watercolor paper appears to be medium, cold-pressed.
