Elsie Zimmerman's Sweet Bird (Blue Flycatcher?) Watercolor, PA, c. 1930s aqua classic things that have alreadyOne of two watercolor birds by the same young Elsie Zimmerman whose watercolored color chart I've also listed today. I'll never say no a naive bird drawing of this sort no fuss, just good, and this one feeling quite tender to me. I'm not a bird expert; an image search suggests a Hill Blue Flycatcher? Whatever the case, this particular bird feels very gentle:) 9 1 8" x 6", very good condition, c. 1930s I believe.
