But as good as photos are these days, they are no substitute for looking at the actual paintings. We hope to see you soon in Graton. |

At a height of 6' 3" with an energetic and magnetic personality, Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977) proved to be a valued member of the Los Angeles Art community. His paintings have an easily recognizable style, eloquent strokes, interesting composition and marvelous color. |

Born in Momence, Illinois, Ruth Manerva Bennett (1899-1960) studied art at the Art Students League in New York City before moving to Los Angeles in the 1920's. |
This marvelous painting from the California School draws the viewer into the scene, and strongly suggests quiet and solitude, attuned to its Southern California locale. |
