Two Cows in Woods

Few people know that in 1964, Mildred Bunting Miller left some personal letters to her niece, Virginia Brown. The Bunting letters talk about her early life in Chester Springs and her later life in California. Since Miller's death in 1964, Virginia Brown has put together some of her aunt's personal notes, and has added her own memories to those of her aunt's. On page 49 of the book Mildred is quoted by her niece as writing on December 21, 1921: "I am beginning to paint tree shadows on a white wall, and I have introduced an old woman with a cane, and a baby playing. It will be called 'Shadow Patterns' and something about the grotesque ephemeral shape of the shadows, and the old woman, will suggest the passing of life, - ...". Her niece wrote: " ... she (Mildred) represents many fine artists who never become famous and whose artistic struggles in relative obscurity add a quiet heroism to their lives." The auto-biography/biography is called: "Mildred Miller Remembered, an Intimate Portrait of an American Artist". by Virginia Brown.
