The Vintage Bath (After Cassatt) , A Special Thank You, & Giveaway!!

 

  

"The Vintage Bath (After Cassatt)," 11"x 14",

oil on canvas, (available on etsy)

I cannot tell you how enjoyable this piece was to paint! I absolutely love Mary Cassatt's work and have done a study of "The Bath," once before which you can view here...I loved the colors so much I decided to do a larger piece using the same painting by her. I think Cassatt is one of the best at capturing the special bond shared between a mother and her child, don't you agree?

I wanted to say a special thank you to Linda MacDonald & the Flea Market Style Magazine team for their wonderful post about my work on their blog which you can view here!

Viewing Mary Cassatt's 'Children Playing with a Dog', Master Portrait Study in Oil

 

 (Viewing Cassatt's 'Children Playing with a Dog', 

6"x 6", oil on stretched canvas,
available on etsy )

This is a 6"x 6" oil painting on stretched canvas with the edges painted black
(can be hung as is, no need for framing) depicting a little girl and her Yorkie viewing
Mary Cassatt's "Children Playing with a Dog." Amazing to think that Cassatt's painting went for $6.2 million at Christie's Auction House in 2007!

(**Note: This piece is more vibrant, colorful, & detailed than what may appear! :)

(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)
