Bertha Scholten The Sun Bonnet Lady Oil on Canvas 19 x 23 $400
"The “Sunbonnet Lady” lived about a mile from my house. I often saw her working on her flowers just on the edge of her yard standing on the road pavement to better reach her plants. She always wore an old-fashioned hand-made sunbonnet. My next- door neighbor owns one of her bonnets which I kept while I painted. I never stopped to talk to her in my effort to avoid hitting her or blocking traffic. She was well into her 90’s when she passed away about ten years ago. Her yard is maintained by the staff of a large farm that surrounds her property. My husband saw a fox on the porch one day as he was driving by."
