Mary Penny's Lovely and Lyrical Fuchsia Flowers Watercolor, Early 1900s antique wooden bookends because they are such lovely

because they are such lovely and useful things

Some of his paintings show nail holes

I believe there were originally five of them and that it is the second largest that is missing

though it could make for some pretty creative and dramatic arrangements

Mary Penny's Lovely and Lyrical Fuchsia Flowers Watercolor, Early 1900s antique wooden bookends because they are such lovelyThough the flowers here are "Fuchsia Flowers," the color of them is more blood red, such that at first I wanted to call them Bleeding Hearts, and they're somewhat similar the way they hang down. Really quite a lyrical watercolor, with great combination of delicacy (those fine trails of orange stems) and boldness (lush green leaves). I have to think painted from nature by Mary Penny's of the "fifth class." Lovely. 7 3 4" x 5 1 8". Very good condition.
