1953-An oil painting of San Gorgonio in springtime, painted on 18" x 14" board and framed in a simple 22" x 18" wooden frame. The scene shows the peaks of San Gorgonio in the background, with lower rolling hills and an abundance of wildflowers vividly depicted in the foreground. Signed Kendall. The edges of the board shoe some wear and minor damage, but the painting is vivid and beautiful. A tag on the rear of the frame indicates Marie Boenig Kendall (1885-1953) Southern Cal Desert. The rear of the frame is also signed "Kendall, Cal `53" which indicates that this was among the last paintings she completed before her death. Marie Boenig was born in Mt. Morris, New York on 16 August 1885, and moved to Redlands, CA after graduating from Central Michigan University in 1903. She became a public school teacher, and married Dudley Kendall in about 1912. In 1914, she attended the summer courses of William M. Chase in Carmel, and studied privately with Jean Mannheim while at the Los Angeles College of Fine Arts. In 1921, she and her husband moved to Long Beach where they both taught while spending summers in Laguna Beach. Primarily a landscape painter, she made sketching trips to the southern California desert and to the Canadian Rockies. Standing as the tallest mountain in Southern California at 11,503 feet, the snow capped peak and ridges of Mt. San Gorgonio provide a grand and distant contrast to California`s beautiful desert wild flowers. HKA#64889
