Painting of the Day, October 23, 2011

By Donna Poulton

James Swinnerton created the “Little Jimmy” comic strip in 1903.  It was featured until 1958 making it the longest running comic created by the same artist. After leaving New York to recover from tuberculosis in California, he relocated to the west coast and began painting in the desert southwest.
