Painted Wall-stand for Flowers, etc. 1939

This watercolor drawing by Hal Blakeley, titled *Painted Wall-stand for Flowers, etc.*, is a depiction of a decorative wall-mounted stand designed to hold flowers or other small items. The piece, which is a simple, yet elegantly painted wooden stand, was likely a design created by the artist for a specific client or for their own home. Blakeley's work was often inspired by the folk art of Sweden, and this design, with its hand-painted design and subtle color palette, reflects that style. The stand's design is a testament to the beauty of simple craftsmanship, with the artist emphasizing the delicate details of the painted decorations.
