Landscapes & the "blue period"
J. I. Nelson, 2008
Landscapes, and paintings from Florence's "blue period."
Many paintings here are of groups of people. I find the blue ones moody.

"Mirror, Mirror" with an angel watching (30 x 24 in)

(left) Three Figures On Moonlit Beach (26 x 22 in)
(right) Figures on Patio Overlooking River Valley (30 x 35 in)
I found the mood odd. No faces are resolved, and the figures do not all relate well socially to one another. Nevertheless, Florence liked them both well enough to hang in the alcove of her living room, where she herself often hung out.

Three people walk in the mountains. (ca 18 x 24 in.)
There was talk of giving this painting to Betty Ustun, and, since we can't find it, we hope that it was.
