Sunset

A classic Ralph Conner subject!  At Jeremy's.

"Railroad Track"

At Jeremy's

Spring Sunshine

Spring Sunshine, 1945

and this version that Jeremy has

"Bench" 1951

At Richards

The City Church, 1951

At Richards.  This painting is still in the original frame and has two exhibition stickers on it.  One is the 11th Annual Western Ontario Art Exhibition (1951) and the other is for the Elsie Perrin Williams Memorial Art Museum.  The other interesting feature is the note "Behind Coal Yards"

"Farm"

At Linda's

"Grist Mill" 1947

At Linda's.  This was given as an anniversary present from Jerry to Doreen.

I think it's a grist mill from the window placement and it's location on water.  I wonder if it might even be the same building as the series of paintings I've called "Mill Pond."

2015: Window placement similar to Dickson's Mill (Galt) as seen below (from Cambridge Archives) on end, but not on sides

 

or possibly Chicopee Flour Mill?

Afternoon, 1950

At Linda's

"Still Life with Fruit"

At Linda's

Jerry Conner

 

At Linda's.  For comparison, a cropped picture of Jerry from an old photo

"Yellow Houses" 1951

At Linda's - is this the same location as "King Street" located at Wendy's?  Roof line very similar

"November Street" 1951

At Linda's

River Reflections, 1951

Linda's house

Birches, 1937

At Lori's

"Ocean View" 1937

At Lori's house.
This looks very much like the ocean in the background.  In 1935 the Van Rooy's were living in Halifax and by 1945 (when Alfred died) they were in St. John's so it is very likely that Ralph would have visited the area.

The Old Hut, Cressman's Woods, 1947
