In the period from 1938 through 1952, San Anselmo artist and English native Ernest Clayton painted 200 water color studies of California wildflowers, mostly from Marin County. Most of these studies were purchased by the San Francisco Library in the 1950s.

The artist’s daughter, Mary Donnelly, was active on MCL’s Board. Her daughters, Nancy Praetzel and Eugenia  Herr, who used to accompany their grandfather on his specimen-collecting hikes, have now issued a series of these beautiful studies as giclee prints.

Each print measures 6 x 11 inches and is for sale for $40, plus sales tax and shipping. These prints make beautiful and unique gifts, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Marin Conservation League.
