    This is an oil painting by Rosanne Edmondson. Size 40 X 50 CM. I found an obituary for her online and contacted a relative by email. Here is information I received:

    "Thanks for your note about my Aunt Rosanne. She was my mother's older sister and was born Rosanne Tully at the family farm located close to Peterborough in 1905. She was a teacher and vice principal in the Toronto School Board and was at schools mainly in the Riverdale, East York area.
    She was a life long painter and was a member of the Artist Association of Toronto and I believe at one time was the President. My late sister and my cousins and I still have many of her paintings, many were landscapes, but she did a lot of new impressionist paintings, especially in the 1940 and 1950's.
    "

    The style reminds me of some of the members of the Beaver Hall group, for example Prudence Heward and Anne Savage. Here are some examples of their work:
