Cassat's Bath - Continued

Haven't painted or drawn much in the last week. Think I've been stalling since I am afraid to begin on the mother and daughter.

I've been using a very limited palette which I think is helping me a lot. Still using the paints I bought in the Netherlands - Old Holland.

Really like linen. I don't know why it is so much better, but it just feels so much more like "painting" when I'm on linen - the brush strokes grab differently or something.

PS - Frankie, I did pass your congrats to Mark. Got the badging process started. Still sick. Came in Friday and then felt cruddy and came home.

This painting is so beautiful. Don;t worry, you'll get the faces. I think you have come far enough to be able to do it.
