Since you know so much about art yourself, DG, that is a nice compliment.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-48980540828267017182014-04-25T14:13:49.298-07:002014-04-25T14:13:49.298-07:00I love the colors--how does he do it?I love the colors--how does he do it?loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-44582568980505570962014-04-25T13:05:55.368-07:002014-04-25T13:05:55.368-07:00Excellent painting.

Mary Cassat is a favorite - I used several of her pieces when I wrote a paper in 11th grade about "The Joys of Childhood: Poetry and Art". It was a really difficult assignment that I literally worked myself to death over, but my super strict teacher (who made me a writer) gave me a A. It was the only A I ever got from her, except my poetry recital.<br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a><br />A to Z Team @ <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com" rel="nofollow">Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2014</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-1526776673207210522014-04-25T11:09:43.143-07:002014-04-25T11:09:43.143-07:00I love the information behind this photo, and that...I love the information behind this photo, and that bench reminded me of the Louvre (still the same design, a low bench) I do like Mary Cassatt's work, and that does look a bit like the Lydia I've seen in Cassatt's paintings. Very nice, loverofwords. I've enjoyed this feature on Degas. Thank you.D.G.
