This simple still life painting features a catkin-like plant in a glass vase. This framed original painting likely comes from Donald's "Plants Paintings Series" that Donald painted between 1944 and 1978.

Dr. DM Flather was both a talented scientist and accomplished botanist with a keen interest in the natural world including trees, plants and flowers.

Donald kept a very active greenhouse at his Kerrisdale, Vancouver home on East Boulevard and was one of the original World War II "Victory Garden" creators in the 1940's where he tended a second garden next to the railway tracks across the road from his home on the Boulevard. Donald even tunneled underneath the road to run a water line to keep not only his, but his neighbour's Victory Gardens watered.

With its vertical orientation, this framed painting is easy to fit on walls with little space.

Signed on the front and comes with an elegant, complimentary new gallery style frame featuring a dark brown (almost black) outer moulding with metallic coloured inner filet and is valued at $376.20 CAD.
