Edward Willis Redfield (1869-1965)

"Plum Blossoms is considered one of Redfield's largest and most loved spring scenes. The artist retained this painting throughout his life, as it was probably one of his favorites. Redfield began focusing on spring during the late teens, so this would be one of his first major spring scenes. It was painted in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near his home and very close to the Delaware River. As depicted here, two ducks also appear in another spring scene as well, Road to the River (Manoogian Collection, Detroit, Michigan)." (Tom Folk, unpublished letter, 2015)

This painting is included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Redfield by Tom Folk Ph.D., AAA.
