The Hilbert museum says of Mary by the Sea: "This stunning oil painting is a visual documentation of a weekend painting excursion that Lee Blair and his artist wife Mary Robinson Blair took to Palos Verdes. The pair were newlyweds, living in Glendale at the time, and both were working at the studio of famed cartoon animator Ub Iwerks... Mary Blair, of course, went on to become one of the most famous artists ever employed at Disney Studios, leading the visual art teams on the movies Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Cinderella, and designing the popular ride ' It's a Small World.'"
