ReplyDeleteSo beautiful - especially loved the watercolors and the transparency and lighter touch of subject. All just terrific. Thank you for posting such an enjoyable series.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the highlight on Boutet de Monvel's work. I think I was first introduced to his Art with the magnificent portrait he made of Millicent Rogers. And as a portraitists ' lover, I then found more information about him and he became one of my favorites.
