"Untitled (Yellow House with Yellow Roses)," Matilda Browne, after 1918.

Browne (1869-1947) was an American Impressionist artist, and a noted member of the Old Lyme, CT artists' colony...in fact, the only female painter they took seriously.

She showed talent as a child, and luckily was a neighbor of Hudson School painter Thomas Moran, who taught the young Matilda and encouraged her gifts. By age 12 she had a painting accepted as part of an exhibit at the American Academy of Design.

She traveled Europe, where she learned from many significant painters, and returned to the US where she earned a reputation as a skilled artist of landscapes, animals, and florals. She also married author Frederick Van Wyck, and had a long and successful career.

Here's the house she lived in at Old Lyme, in the summer with the roses blooming...

Happy Flower Friday!
