Palmer signed Watercolors of Beautiful Women Spanish Bird

These lovely watercolors of two beautiful but very different ladies were also among my cousin's items. I have not been able to find out anything about the artist, but I love the details in the scarf of the gorgeous blonde and the Spanish (?) flavor of the other lady enjoying her favorite bird. Her attire is also detailed beautifully. I believe these to be mid-century. The paperclips holding plastic onto the elaborately dressed lady had seen many better days! I would love to hear any comments about these paintings.
