What fun you must be having! And what fun YOU are with the visitors! You totally provoked my curiosity about this beautiful child Beatrice, but I can't find any good info about her online.<br /><br />Your painting looks wonderful - I can't wait to see it up close!Terri Buchholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662251147491481925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980518734197391212.post-43803672722927508362013-06-23T14:25:53.180-04:002013-06-23T14:25:53.180-04:00Such a wonderful wonderful painting! and I love ...Such a wonderful wonderful painting! and I love the post!!!hmuxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132343095188658107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980518734197391212.post-51139853740829832582013-06-23T11:15:12.620-04:002013-06-23T11:15:12.620-04:00I am in awe, Maria!

I was "racking my brain" (spelling?) trying to remember where we went when we saw a painting of John Singer Sargent on holiday here in England. I finally remembered! We went to Falmouth in Cornwall (UK) at the Falmouth art gallery, and Falmouth has the "Hemy" family there. You can go to this link... http://www.visitfalmouth.com/blog/charles-napier-hemy-a-busy-man-with-great-friends/<br /><br />and you can see the painting of Charles Napier Hemy, painted by John Singer Sargent. <br /><br />I took some watercolor lessons and that is where I first learned about John Singer Sargent. I love his paintings.<br /><br />Sorry to ramble on, but he was such a fabulous painter. <br /><br />I love this painting you have done, You are so talented. Thank you for being a friend on Facebook, if not for that, I would never see all your wonderful works :)<br /><br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
