Jessie Willcox Smith: Her Life Through Art and Paintings
Clay was just a minor part of Jessie Wilcox Smith's creativity. Maybe she used it for better feel of the three dimensional world which she portrayed in 2D only or maybe she just used it for relaxation.

I am not very familiar with technical part of Smith's work. I know some artists used egg yolk instead of oil to keep their colors lighter but the main reason is probably skillful use of pigments.

I believe both, DerdriuMarriner. She had to use models and using the kids from the neighborhood was he most practical solution. Spending time with hem very likely helped her to reconnect with her inner child which is so important for the ...

In my opinion art should always reflect the situations in present but offering the answers which are universal. By default, art should be a critic, no matter what political option is temporarily n power.

The 20th and the 21st centuries are not always accurate about whom they extol.
A question that I have about Franz Stassen is whether or not he jumped or was pushed politically. It would have been uncomfortable to be an artist in politically ...

The computer crashed before I completed the list of 14 sea vegetables counted as consumable by the Nutrition Advance site.
That site makes the mistake of listing such Japanese sea vegetables, which like their sushi, inspires food poisoning with ...

Jessie Willcox Smith: Her Life Through Art and Paintings
The computer crashed before I completed my comment concerning how Willcox Smith signs her works.
Do we have any images that give her initials -- such as it appears as one way of Stassen signing his works -- or her written signature?
(I always ...

Four in-text images clearly show Willcox Smith signatures as actually printed.
Was that a style at the time, to provide one's name in full but in printed letters?

The second image, between the second and the third facts, Landscapes and Book illustrations, has the Stassen signature in the lower right corner.
What is the mark that appears third, after F for Franz and S for Stassen?

Are you acquainted with the Nutrition Advance website?
The aforementioned site lists 14 sea-vegetable types. Might such sea vegetables ever show among nautical-themed wedding-party fare?

There are other edibles on the menu apart the main, protein dish.
Do nautical-themed weddings carry out sea world-themed vegetables as well?

The name Red Rose Inn just has been taken for granted by me!
Is it known why the Willcox Smith abode had the name that it did?
Might all of the quartet have been red-rose enthusiasts?
Nothing anywhere recalls for me anything like the fairy ...

This is somewhat related, somewhat unrelated because it's about Franz Stassen, but not as an artist.
Might you have heard of the Unitedstatesian politician Harold Stassen? The latter must have made a record number of unsuccessful runs for the ...

The table seat on Jesus Christ's right side appeared to be the most desirable to some followers such as James and John.
Might that right seat be considered the most hallowed at Willcox Smith's table in the image of her with the Red Rose girls?

Jessie Willcox Smith: Her Life Through Art and Paintings
The image of the Red Rose girls somewhat intimates a regular-seating arrangement in the organized placement around such a small table.
That's perhaps what the limited space of the room and the limited size of the table might impel. It's perhaps ...
