Cassatt, Mary

Mary Cassatt - what can you say...

Finally remembered to phograph this, and here it is, in acrylics.

Hey - I just saw this. This looks lovely and must have been fun to do. Yours looks like the brush strokes may be smoother.

Dont you just love those M Cassat stamps? I wish they'd come out with some others artist stamps. Seems like such a waste to put them on my bills.

This is great! You painted one of my favorite pieces by Cassatt!

It was done in hopes of learning something. Of course working from the original is the best. Using a reproduction is a poor substitute. You can't relie on the color, values or texture as depicted and it may have been cropped as well. Still it was a good exercise. Just now when I read your comment and looked at the picture again I saw something new there. She has repeated the general shape of the pitcher in the little girls form. That akimbo arm is like the handle.
