John Singer Sargent & Art-in-the-Park

When we were at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, in the middle of August, there was and still is a major exhibit on John Singer Sargent. The above watercolor by Sargent, titled Young Woman with a Black Skirt, he painted in the early 1880's. This was displayed in a back room away from his more prominent portraits, which were oils on a grand scale and charcoal drawings, handled with authority.

I figured it would be wise to include a Sargent watercolor sketch, which most have not ever seen, yet fresh in my mind, as inspiration for this upcoming art show. In a prior post, I mentioned I would be exhibiting at the Art in the Park, in Keene, NH on September 5 & 6, from 10 AM - 4 PM. Thus, I have not been able to paint as much as my efforts have shifted to matting and framing works for exhibit. In addition, new mesh display panels arrived the other day, to showcase my work under my vendor tent. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and make for a pleasant Labor Day weekend.
