DescriptionVanessa Helder produced what are known as Precisionist Style watercolors. She moved to Los Angeles in the early 1940s and became a well-known figure within the California Water Color Society. This scene is typical of the many dirt roadways through areas in Los Angeles County where rural truck farms growing vegetables and fruit still existed well into the 1960s.
