Happy Monday All!

A couple of years ago I did a series called “60 Days of Studying the Masters” and I had so much fun painting little 90 minute replicas (or studies) of famous artworks.

I learned so much!

Below are a few that I did.

John Singer Sargent

Henri Toulouse-Lautrec

Marcella Renee Lancelot Cruco

Watercolor and ink on 6x9 inch nails watercolor paper

John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925) • Portrait of Louise Pomeroy Inches • 1887 • Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Evening Dress • Unidentified Maker • American • Silk velvet with silk plain weave lining

How wonderful that such a well-preserved dress exists to enliven a famous portrait painting! This dress is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons – firstly, I love velvet and this silk velvet is the real deal – gorgeous. Secondly, I've seen the portrait many times at the MFA in Boston. The dress was in a glass case at the blockbuster Fashioned by Sargent exhibition also at the MFA.

I've read that Louise Inches was expecting her third child when she sat for this portrait and that the dress had been designed to accommodate extra panels as her figure expanded. She and Sargent got on well. Both were music lovers and accomplished musicians.
