Sarah Stilwell Weber (1878-1939)

This is from The Saturday Evening Post Jan/Feb 2011 edition. I found some more of her illustrations by googling her, but I've been unable to find a biography. I love her work.

Good Night! How Could I Never Have Heard of Her?

I just fell in love with an illustration in The Saturday Evening Post on page 80 of the January/February issue. (Yes, the magazine is still in print and it's fabulous.) Have you ever heard of Sarah S. Stilwell Weber? I googled her and found some of her work here http://giam.typepad.com/100_years_of_illustration/sarah_s_stilwell_weber_18781939/
I couldn't get this to show as a link, but I'll edit tomorrow when the kids come over and they can show me what I'm doing wrong. (Sometimes I can get things to work and other times...) Check it out. Her work is lovely. I want to learn more. Maybe someone has written a biography.
Tell me what you think of her.

Do you have a favorite shade of green?

Do you have a favorite green in watercolor? If so, would you please tell me the brand and the shade? I do mix greens and there are some shades I like straight out of the tube, but I'd like a few more to choose from.
