There will be a lot more colour because the subject wants to be<br />surrounded by the vintage quilts and fabric she sells, so it's going to be bright.<br /><br />XOXOXOXBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-52910419147169691942009-06-18T18:57:56.014-07:002009-06-18T18:57:56.014-07:00I LOVE these colors.

I really like that fact.<br /><br />I'm glad you are inspired by Vigée. I must take her biography with me on holiday this year. I'd like to know more.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-90577595077252715642009-06-17T19:12:09.442-07:002009-06-17T19:12:09.442-07:00Hi, Barbara - I love Vigee Le Brun's work, als...Hi, Barbara - I love Vigee Le Brun's work, also. I've studied the subtle color transitions in her skin tones with awe. She was a remarkable painter at an amazing time in history.<br />I agree it's not important to paint in someone's style to learn valuable lessons from them. I love reading about other painters. Makes me feel we're all tied together through history.L.Holmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154266083542788127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-57826881640649168562009-06-16T22:23:36.118-07:002009-06-16T22:23:36.118-07:00Hi Melinda,

This woman seemed so spirited -- and she was so ahead of her time, supporting her family with her art as a young girl.<br /><br />She is a good reason to get back to the easel.
