Image of the Week: Amy Jones

Image of the week: Amy Jones (right) and an unidentified woman pose with paintings at an outdoor art show in Saranac Lake, 1935. Jones was an accomplished artist who accompanied her ailing husband, David Blair Jones, to Saranac Lake for the cure in 1930. While her husband cured, Jones taught watercolor painting at the Saranac Lake Study and Craft Guild and was a founding member of the Saranac Lake Art League.
