Oil PaintingDescription
Bayard has painted a still life of a blue vase of flowers on the end table. A small wooden box sits next to the vase. The table, box, and wall behind the vase all are a deep reddish brown; this color makes up much of the composition. The flowers in the vase are an assortment of blues, oranges, and whites. There are small peach colored circles on the table, which may be polka dots on the table, or may be fallen petals. There is a light blue along the edge of the right side of the painting, perhaps a window, and what looks to be a frame along the right side.Collection

Provenance Detail
Created under the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project (1930s–1940s), this collection of easel paintings was originally installed at the Mount Morris Tuberculosis Sanitorium in Livingston County, New York. Following the sanitorium’s closure in 1970, the artworks were abandoned and remained in storage until their rediscovery decades later. Now preserved and exhibited by the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts (GVCA), the collection is housed at the New Deal Museum in Mount Morris. Current efforts include digitization, high-resolution photography, and the creation of an online archive to ensure long-term public access and research availability.General Notes
