Keller is considered one of the important plein air painters in the first hundred years of Oregon art history. This is a beautiful impressionistic work (indicative of his best painting) from 1916 by Clyde Leon Keller. Front Signed and Dated, 1916. The Back Board is titled. "The Path Through The Woods." All hand writing is in India ink, typical of paintings he signed from the 1910-1920s. Condition is excellent with clean vibrant colors. No observable flaws or deterioration. Painted on a watercolor hard board.

NOTE: This is indeed a rare work.  Keller painted few watercolors, comparatively speaking... so do not expect to see anything remotely like this offered for sale, especially from this era or in this condition. 

Purchase includes an original Keller Store Business Store Receipt (as pictured) a restored Photograph from the late teens (about the time this work was created) and his Business Card. As mentioned, this work is held between hinged acid free foam core boards and cradled by acetate corner mounts.
