<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scoutshouse, post: 563348, member: 267&quot;]<font size="4">If this artist studied with Tilden Daken, this painting would fit his school well. He was known for painting around the world, so it&#039;s conceivable she did too - Japan - I guess? </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">I&#039;m not stating the following as fact that this was painted in Pacific Northwest, this is simply an impression of the history of my state and where I grew up, and what Morrow might have seen in her travels. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">If it does happen to be what it suggests to me, it would be valuable to Japanese museums, as well any kind of early California watercolor or impressionist collectors. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Morrow&#039;s landscape of the painting fits San Pablo Bay, Vallejo, Tomales Bay or any other bay around where she lived, which all have rich Asian history. It&#039;s possible a 1900 immigrant was successful enough to build his own home, or a compound for workers in any one of those places. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">This is where Morrow lived - lotta landlocked water there. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">[ATTACH=full]171641[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Japanese fisheries and farmers also migrated to Southern California - Whitepoint (below), in San Pedro,&nbsp; was an abalone concern&nbsp; starting 1901 to 1910, right down the end of my street. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><img src="https://palosverdeshistory.org/islandora/object/pvld%3A2866/datastream/TN/view" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font size="4"><img src="https://palosverdeshistory.org/islandora/object/pvld%3A2868/datastream/TN/view" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">An aside: While working in Richmond, I drove past an half-submerged abandoned Japanese fishery in San Pablo Bay every day. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">REALLY hope someone finds something of hers! I haven&#039;t... </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">I didn&#039;t connect results for MS Morrow on findartinfo.com earlier because of the order of the names. This person had a similar birthdate, but much longer life span. It&#039;s possible the death was a typo, but the three oils shown are floral still lifes, so does not seem to be her. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Mary Morrow Murtland Scully</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Born 1853 </font></p><p><font size="4">Died 1932 </font></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
