Olive Parker Black had an impressive careeer. She trained with William Merritt Chase and Hugh Bolton Jones. She exhibited at the National Academy of Design from 1897 to 1930 . She also exhibited with the Boston Art Club, the Art Club of Philadelphia and the Carnegie Institute. She was considered one of her generation's best landscape painters.
We are selling this large landscape painting "as is." It has numerous small areas of paint loss in the sky and the trees. A detail photo shows the worst of it. Overall, it is a splendid example of Olive Parker Black's landscape painting. Delicate, impressionistic, with the Barbizon influence that she learned from Hugh Bolton Jones.
