| Jessie Bone Charman (1895-1986)
The following comes from Richard C. de Long:
Jessie was one of the most delightful and talented artists I ever met, as was her husband Montague Charman, also an artist. Jessie was diminutive, soft spoken, eloquent. I prize a water color of Jessie’s that is a large image of irises, realistic, yet somewhat abstract. She lived in upstate New York where her husband Mond taught at Syracuse.
She loved to eat fruit that she would nurture until just the right moment to eat it. It was she who taught me about figs and pears and when to eat them. To her there was nothing more wonderful than perfect figs and perfect pears with her choice of cheese and a chilled glass of wine. She was so sensitive to light, to nature. A dear friend of now almost forty years ago.
