Evelyn Faherty (American/Pennsylvania, b. 1919), "Delaware Canal, Yardley, Pennsylvania", oil on canvas, signed lower right, titled en verso stretcher, 16" x 20". Framed. A member of the "New Hope School", Faherty was influenced by the American Impressionist painters active in her native Pennsylvania in the early to mid-20th century. She studied with John Fulton Folinsbee (1892-1972) and Henry Leith-Ross (1886-1973), both of whom emphasized the superiority of plein air over studio painting. Faherty works in a range of media, but consistently employs a cool color palette and loose brush strokes to depict the variations of light, the time of day, and the changing seasons of the local Bucks County landscape.
