Elsie Zimmerman's Grackle (I believe!), c. 1930s School Watercolor antique American watercolor set and seems quite a spirit

and seems quite a spirit of independence captured in this watercolor

indicating point values for successfully extracting them should one wish to keep score

Another terrific old cat with a lot of attitude

at odds with the careful linearity of the rest

Elsie Zimmerman's Grackle (I believe!), c. 1930s School Watercolor antique American watercolor set and seems quite a spiritOne of two watercolor birds by the same young Elsie Zimmerman whose watercolored color chart I've also listed today. I'll never say no a naive bird drawing of this sort no fuss, just good, with a certain elegance and sense of resolve, too. I think this is a Common Grackle based on the combination of blue head, black body and yellow eyes. 11 5 8" x 9 1 8", very good condition, c. 1930s.
