Painted Lady Day


Today I'm joining Moo-Mania & More who asked us to Make it Feminine.

I have named her Painted Lady and the inspiration for the title

came from this can of paint (actually a button in a previous life) I used as the embellishment.  The background was created using several glitter Crayola crayons.

The focal image was a bookmark put out by the Smithsonian

and I scanned it so you can read the real name of the art and artist.


Today is Day 12 of AEDM, and I created a spread in my Challenges altered book for Moo-Mania & More.

  3. Soft colors, flowy clothes, and soft lines capture feminine on your page. Bet your lovely, painted lady lived in a pretty Victorian painted lady. Thank you for posting the text about the painting. I had never heard of that artist before.

  5. I love Childe Hassam's paintings. Crocker Art, here in Sacramento, had two different exhibits a few years ago featuring American Impressionists, and that was when I discovered his work. Lovely paintings! I would love to see an exhibition featuring his work alone so that I could see more of them.

  14. Hi, Elizabeth, thanks for your comment to me over at Creative Every Day. I didn't realize that my current blog settings were restricting people's ability to comment. (In past years, I was blogging at LiveJournal. Now, I'm blogging at Dreamwidth.)

    If I did it right, I've now set up my Dreamwidth blog so that unregistered folks can comment, albeit with an anti-spam test. I hope that helps!
