MARIAN DALE SCOTT

This Montreal Beaver Hall impressionist has been floating in and out of my psyche recently, and I found her again while obsessing over geometric images for art deco ideas for closet doors.





That led me to this incredible painting.

Lauren Harris Meets Emily Carr Meets Art Nouveau




















It feels like she reflects everything I love about Quebec.

Seems like the road to Kamouraska


Bank Street Bridge by her friend Pegi Nicol MacLeod

Snow clearing at Night/Lorne Crescent 1936
























































Her floral prints are exquisite. My favourite is the milkweed.

Some connections to this artist have surprised me. A small exhibit at the Glen hospital of Norman Bethune includes a painting of his, and there is photograph of what looks like a nurse and orderly teaching children in hospital beds to paint. That woman in hospital garb is Marian Dale Scott, and she was a friend of Normal Bethune!

This is a mural I need to check out soon.
