You can really see the Japanese influence in this particular work.
Hope you don't mind if I post about my all-time favorite woman artist, Mary Cassatt. She is famous for her mother and child themes. She is also well-known because she held her own with the other French Impressionists of the time, who with the exception of Berthe Morisot, were all men.

What a treat to the sense of sight! :-)
Thanks, dearest Esther!
I LOVE her paintings. You have such good taste ;-)
Isn't her work lovely Easter? I'm glad you liked it too.
Thanks Adrienne! :-)
I used to help do a monthly mailout for one of the local women's centers. We used Mary Cassatt stamps a couple of years ago on the envelopes because the paintings seem so very pro-life with the moms and children.
The center helps pregnant women and girls to keep their babies by providing whatever they need during pregnancy and for a year after the birth of the baby. They also offer 3D sonograms so that the girls can see the baby they are carrying. Hardly any of them want to abort once they've seen the sonograms pictures. Thanks for posting the Mary Cassatt paintings.
Kalona, I always thought her work was very pro-life too. What a nice thing you did!
