Berry, most known with his knowledge for the wilderness and his amazing sketches and after all left just a few finished paintings and tons of sketches and studies. Most of his Alaskan sketches were also done extremely from memory, based on observations earlier the same or the previous days. <br />Great article!telestudieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049551901127529054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-67054537849985758282015-12-07T06:43:51.940-05:002015-12-07T06:43:51.940-05:00He has always been a favorite of mine.

I have once seen his work and then couldn't find his name, now due to your post, Mr. Gurney, I've discovered him once again.<br />How unfortunate it is, though, that he has destroyed most of his works. Wish to see these great watercolors in real life :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026864435417183909noreply@blogger.com
