13. Ernest Clayton Collection of California Wild Flowers
http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/librarylocatio...on/clayton.htm


Ernest Clayton's watercolors depicting California wildflowers are the
subject of this online gallery from the San Francisco Public Library
(SFPL).
There are 200 paintings in the complete collection, created from
1942-1952, and all are owned by the SFPL. *The gallery of images can be
viewed several ways, the first of which can be accomplished by clicking
on "Browse the gallery of selected images", underneath the title of the
collection. *The two pages of images are composed of thumbnails and the
index numbers of the paintings, which can be enlarged simply by clicking
on them. *
Visitors shouldn't miss checking out the painting of the Common
Trillium (SFP41-0100), which is rich and lovely. *Other ways to view the
collection are by the "numerical index", or alphabetically by the
"common name" or the "botanical name". *The links to the aforementioned
sections can be found in blue in the second paragraph of the
collection's homepage. [KMG]

Thank you for posting this

Let me join the chorus of appreciation. This pure beauty did lift me
up briefly from the slough of despond about national and world
affairs. Nature will be here long after we have consigned ourselves
to oblivion.
