Artist of the Day

Mary Cassatt


Every time I see this painting, I can't help but to remember when I first saw it as a child.  It was in a children's book that my mom had purchased.  Mary Cassatt's "The Bath" illustrates the care of a child from her mother.  This painting has muted hues of greens, pinks, reds, and mauve.  The painting tells a story of femininity and may evoke solemn but sweet emotions from the audience.  Cassatt is celebrated as an outstanding American painter as well as a woman painter.  Yes...I almost want to caption this one...hmmm

The details of the ornate patterns on the floor is beautiful.  What significant things comes to mind about your childhood that makes you the person you are today?
