Elizabeth Heil Alke, Floral Still Life
I found this painting done by Elizabeth Heil Alke while rambling around the internet. Internet rambling is one of my favorite things to do, so much to see...

I could not find much additional information about the artist, but I did find this (from Cincinnati Art Galleries.com):

And I found this (Artists in Ohio, 1787-1900: a biographical dictionary.. on GoogleBooks)
"landscape, portrait, and flower painter"
"She won awards at the 1898 and 1900 Ohio State Fairs for portraits and figures in oil"
she and her future husband crossed paths "when they both had studios at 2153 Fullerton Avenue, Cincinnati"
I wish that more of about her life and work was available.
