She traveled around Europe studying the work of other artists and finally settled in Paris. That was when you had to travel to a museum to see art, no internet and printing was not well developed. Her primary mentor was Edgar Degas.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is one of my favorite paintings by Mary Cassatt. It shows a reluctant sitter on the right side of the composition and is balanced by the dog and other furniture in the room on the left. The child is lit while the rest of the room is in dim light. Cassatt also subdued the light from the windows in order to put all the attention on the girl.</div><p></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%px;"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" style="padding: 9px 18px;" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageCardBottomContent" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid rgb(34, 34, 34); text-align: right; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBottomImageContent" style="padding: 18px 18px 0px; text-align: center;" valign="top"><img alt="" class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/85766ef103760124ff9b8599a/images/d4de3e87-2624-9729-6155-b5f87c476296.jpg" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 300px; outline: none; vertical-align: bottom;" width="300" /></td></tr><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 36px; padding: 9px 18px; text-align: center; word-break: break-word;" valign="top" width="528"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "open sans", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>Zoom Painting Classes</strong></span><br />I now have two online Zoom painting classes.</span><br /><strong>Tues.

The source material for this painting was a high resolution photo. I study the photo and then paint it on the panel. It is done in oils and is a one of a kind, original, hand painted portrait of my clients dog.
I can paint your pet too, what ever kind of critter you have.

This little painting is by Peggi Kroll Roberts, a California painter whom I like very much. I'm pretty sure this is a guache painting. The subject matter is so ordinary but the way the sun falls on it and the shadows they create really turn me on.<br />
