<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 3976823, member: 33&quot;]From the bibliography at the end of that bio, I&#039;m assuming the person who listed it had copied and pasted the text from a reference book or other biographical source. If so, it&#039;s likely to be pretty accurate. I also found this, which gives similar information and cites a book titled <i>California Watercolors 1850-1970</i>.
