Jane belonged to a watercolor group when she lived in Fresno 1950-about 1956. They would meet meet on Wednesdays and would have a critique group with Rollin Pickford, the great California watercolorist. She would bring the two toddlers, myself and my brother Bill and put us in a play pen with some food and toys and take us home when we got too fussy. I'll make some pictures of her own work later, but here's one from a current show of Pickford's at the Pacific Grove Public Library. There is a wonderful book on his work called California Light, and also a web site devoted to him. Pickford died in September of 2010 at the age of 98. obituary
Jack (John Barnes) Leddy, who died on Jan. 20, 2012, had been an Electronics Sales Manufacturer's Representative and was a proud Navy veteran of WWII. His wife, Jane Winter Leddy, who passed away on June 10, 2019, was an artist for most of her life. This site is devoted to their lives and to the history of the Leddy and Winter families. It was set up by their son Tom Leddy.
