Garden Bath, (After Mary Cassatt), 6"x6", oil on canvas, (SOLD,thank you!)
(close up of study of Mary Cassatt painting The Bath)I will most assuredly need to take a better photograph of this piece tomorrow as I ran out of sunlight today, but this is what I've been up to the past couple of days...along with finishing up a couple of commissioned pieces. I absolutely love the work of Mary Cassatt, especially her paintings of mothers with their children. The Bath, is just lovely. I spent nearly 3 1/2 hours just painting the study of this painting, trying to get the colors just right...hopefully I've done Mary's piece some justice. This painting will be available on ebay this evening.
(*Also, I am still waiting to hear if I can share the name of the designer/stylist who I just completed a painting for...I'm hoping I will be able to spill the beans in the next day or two, very exciting...hopefully he will like the portrait I did! It was a surprise from another designer to this person...someone who just may give Martha a run for her money!! :o)

(**Update: I replaced the photo, but am still waiting for the sun to break thru the clouds to get a better photo...paintings always look better in real life! :o)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!I'm a bit disappointed that the sun has still not broken thru the clouds here in Michigan, but I will replace the photo now and hope for more sun later on :o)
ReplyDeleteI've always loved her artwork too. There is something so real about her work. I think your piece is gorgeous! What a creative idea, Love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Do I see a subtle Karin Jurick-esque hint influencing painting? It delightfully reminds me of her gallery of "gallery" pieces!
ReplyDeleteStill on the edge of my seat wondering who the mystery designer/stylest is! Can't wait till those particular beans will be spilled!
That has got to be THE best compliment ever!I have admired Karin Jurick's work for a few years now, ever since I started to paint!It is my goal to paint like her one day!:o)...and it is just about killing me not to be able to share who I did a portrait for, but I have to wait until this person gives 'him' the gift!!Stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteCarn't wait to see who you have done your painting for, i bet you are excited too Elaine :)
ReplyDeleteStill waiting to find out when I can spill the beans...but I could say if you looked around my blog a bit you just might be able to figure out who it is, but if you do shhh! it is supposed to be a surprise!
