Enough so, that I actually took notes-- and I <I>hate</I> to take notes. <BR/><BR/>Some things I wrote down:<BR/><BR/>Growth in her career: she got looser through the years, she wasn't afraid of change (or of taking risks). More than that, the quality was high throughout her career.<BR/><BR/>Each painting had solutions that were applied in a unique fashion. She didn't rely on the same toolset (tricks) for each painting. Go and take a look at Sargent's last 20 years or so--there is a great deal of uniformity in how he painted each portrait.<BR/><BR/>Her whites rocked.<BR/><BR/>She used brush size to great effect.<BR/><BR/>Thin color on much of the canvas-- not overworked.<BR/><BR/>Her pastel piece (there was just one) was phenomenal.<BR/><BR/>Great stuff. I wish that I knew where it was headed next. It kind of crept into Tacoma...<BR/><BR/>Arabella:<BR/>Highly recommended if you get the chance...Jason Waskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980929709727586080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789816594489506474.post-41866057518760087432008-01-09T16:24:00.000-08:002008-01-09T16:24:00.000-08:00I'd love to see her work in person, the Portrait S...I'd love to see her work in person, the Portrait Society of America has the Celia Beaux Forum and it is true, I never heard of her until I joined.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789816594489506474.post-19101723464818129102008-01-09T13:39:00.000-08:002008-01-09T13:39:00.000-08:00Call me jealous - Celia Beaux is one of my favorit...Call me jealous - Celia Beaux is one of my favorite painters. Her work is hard to find. I've only seen 2 or 3 of her paintings in person, and I think they had to have been at the Met or in Chicago - they were stunners! Now, they just need to bring that show to Denver =)Stacey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092020892186641387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789816594489506474.post-53868138265329894022008-01-09T12:20:00.000-08:002008-01-09T12:20:00.000-08:00Great links, Jason.
