With Thanks

 

Dear Mary Cassatt, 

I am profoundly thankful for your inspiration. I was mesmerized by your oil painting “Little Girl in a Blue Armchair” (1878). You captured the unselfconsciousness of this beautiful little girl and the calmness of the little dog nearby. Your choice of blue is calming and cool. I was taken away into this precious moment you trapped in time.





With thanks for this work and your other paintings I continue to be inspired to continue my own painting practice.  

Fondly, 

Georgia Piazza
