| PORTRAIT ON STRATHMORE PREMIUM RECYCLED PAPER 9 X 12 INCHES A STUDY OF MARY CASSATT |
I was looking for a young Mary Cassatt 's picture, but I didn't find any. I love the lady, one of the great woman painter of the impressionnist period and I spent an hour knowing her better with this portrait. A black and white drawing misses the beautiful colors you can find in her work.
J'ai cherché une photo d'une jeune Mary Cassatt que je n'ai pas trouvée. J'adore cette dame, une grande peintre de l'époque impressionniste. Je la connais mieux depuis que j'ai travaillé une heure sur son visage. Un portrait en noir et blanc ne reflète pas les magnifiques couleurs qu'on retrouve dans son travail.

Helen - superb portrait. You did such a great job with her. I too love her work. You certainly caught a certain personality with the hat as well. Love it. I hope you are having a great day.
Thanks Debbie! I' menjoying the cool weather this weekend and trying to finish some odds and ends outside. Hugs
It's a lovely drawing and I love her exquisitely drawn hat (bit it was a nightmare to draw).
Hi Polly! Believe it or not drawing those feathers took a long time but it was real fun. My pen would flew all over the hat as if it had a life of its own. Take care,hugs
I love Cassat too, and actually...anyone in a hat! Love your 'Rose' day too. Good colours.
Thanks Sharon! :)
