Red Grapes (Watercolor)

From the collection of recently located works. Dated April 5, 2008.  (7" x 11")  I hadn't realized that RTH had done any recent watercolors. I assumed this was painted shortly after college until I noticed the date.

Flowers in a Jug

Undated sketch of flowers in a jug. Recently located. I suspect it was drawn in the 60s or earlier. The signature is more recent.

Blue Cactus, Zihuatenjo

A simple sketch of a cactus in blue ink. 2/17/2001.

Watercolor: Ikebana in a Shallow Bowl

Watercolor of a flower arrangement in a shallow bowl. Undated, but I'd guess late 60s when JLS was taking an ikebana course

Flowers in a wrapped Pot (sketch)

Undated sketch of flowers in a wrapped pot.

Flowers in a Vase (Painting)

Flowers in a Vase.  Tempura on Paper.  This is about 12" x 20".  It was painted while RTH was in College.

Flowers in a Bottle (sketch)

Undated sketch of flowers in a bottle.

Ivy at Table Edge

Drawing in ink of an ivy plant.  One of the works RTH did in college.  The paper is crinkled, so it was hard to get a clean scan.

Blue Flower and Bottle (Sketch)

Flower in a Bottle, sketched in blue ink.   Undated.

Flowers in a vase (Sketch)

Flowers in a vase.  dated 4/15/97.  I like the way RTH concentrated on 

the background and drew minimal details of the flowers themselves.

Tulips (painting)

Tulips in a vase.

Tempura paints on paper.  10" x 14".

Painted while RTH was in college.

Beyond the Tracks (painting)

Tempura on Paper.  15" x 20".   From RTH's works in college, 

so this was probably done in Eugene, OR around 1959.

Flowers in Vases (painting)

Abstract of flowers in two vases. From the collection of paintings 

that RTH did in college. 10" x 14".  Tempura on Paper.

Potting plants

Flower vendor potting plants.  I'm guessing this was taken at the same bonsai flower show I've posted other photos from before.  I'm not sure where or when the show was.  JLH says it could have been from a trip they took to China in 2003 or so.  They looked at bonsai one day while wasting time waiting for the ship on their Yangtze river cruise.

Carnations (sketch)

Carnations, sketched February 16, 2007.

Purple Flowers in a Black Vase

This is from the recently-discovered trove of RTH's early works.  It appears to have been done in tempura paint.  10" x 14".

Yellow Daisies (Oil Painting)

Oil Painting of Yellow Daisies.  24" x 28".  I have this painting here.
