Landscape on Board (1956 by Elsie C Patty)

By shabbytrick, 15 December, 2014
Description

Large landscape painting (oil i would guess) that is approxitely 96" by 48" that has been painted on a textured board, i've heard the word "canvas board" used before.

It appears to be Grand Lake, Colorado and features a resort scene in the foreground and a mountain range in the background.  The painting is signed in the lower right Elsie C. Patty 1956. What little information  i was able to find was that Patty was a artist in Colorado and may have had a studio at one time in the Grand Lake area.  I've seen a few smaller paintings done by her but nothing near this size.  

Wish I could say more about it to help but no very little about painting technique or materials to provide more information than I have already.  Thank You!!!

Hello,  my husband is Elsie Patty's great grandson.  Did you ever receive an appraisal of the painting?  Do you still own the painting?  If you would be interested in selling it, would you let me know?  Thanks, Karen.

Yes, I grew up next door to Elsie Patty, in Grand Lake, and watched her paint many pieces. I have a small piece, signed, that she gave me.

Elsie Patty of Grand Lake Colorado came from Red Oak, Iowa. In 1960, my father, Merrell C Petty ("Mickey"), drove the shuttle bus from Grand Lake Lodge to the town of Grand Lake. He would always always point out Elsie's studio to the Lodge guests. The Lodge was expensive and the guests were well-to-do and bought many of her paintings. She gave my father a painting at the end of that summer as a thank you gift. I have that painting of the lake and Mt Baldy and I treasure it. She was quite a character - she smoked a pipe! She did many oil paintings of Grand Lake.
