Martha Simkins Art

1869-1969

Martha Simkins was born in Monticello, Florida, and moved to Corsicana in 1871, and was educated in public schools. She attended the University of Texas and then moved to New York, where she studied six years at the Art Students League of New York and a year at Columbia University. Simkins studied under William Merritt Chase, Kenyon Cox and Henry Siddons Mowbray. She returned to Corsicana and taught in the public schools in 1901. Simkins then taught at North Texas Normal School in Denton from 1901–06. She returned to New York and studied with William Merritt Chase again, and Henry Bayley Snell and Emil Carlsen, after which she traveled to Europe, where she studied with Cecilia Beaux and John Singer Sargent. From 1915–24, Simkins divided her time and work between New York City, Woodstock, where she maintained a studio and her home in Dallas. She continued teaching at the College of Industrial Arts, Denton and produced numerous portrait commissions. Simkins died in Los Angeles County, California.

Harvest Still Life
By Lu Haskew
Located in Loveland, CO
Harvest Still Life​ by Lu Haskew Oil 18x25" image size, 24x31" framed Still Life of an abundant vegetable garden harvest with onions, eggplant, cabbage and tomato ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
