3 of my Favorite...






For my offering today, here are 3 of my favorite
photographs of paintings at the Smithsonian (previously taken.)


See if you know...your "art." Try the following:
assign the artist's name to his/her work
(I had to research this) and title each piece. Take liberty!
You can make up a proper "Title."

Mary Cassatt, American, 1844 - 1926.
Pierre Auguste Renoir, French, 1841–1919.
Claude Oscar Monet, French, 1840-1926.

(Dear Readers, due to an illness in my immediate family,
I have not been able to get out and
to photograph the workings of spring, here.
Hopefully, I will be 'back in the saddle,' soon.)

  1. I definitely know that the first one is called "The Girl with a Watering Can" and is by Renoir. I always visit it at the National Gallery when I'm in DC.

    The other two I am guessing and making up a title. :) The second one is Claude Monet and I'm calling it "Woman with Baby". The third one is Cassatt and I'll call it "Girl in blue chair."

  4. The answers to yesterday's post are:

    Mary Cassatt. "Little Girl in a Blue Armchair." 1878 (bottom.)

    Claude Oscar Monet; "Jean Monet In His Cradle."

    Auguste Renoir. "Girl With A Watering Can;" many people's favorite!

    I really really dig Mary Cassatt's painting of the little girl who is 'all out'(tired from playing.)
