Celebrating Motherhood Through Art: Mary Cassatt
When I think of Mother’s Day and Art, there’s one artist that comes to mind instantly, Mary Cassatt.

Celebrating Father's Day: The Father's of Art

As Simple As Black and White
Whoever first spoke the phrase, “As simple as black and white.”, obviously, was not referring to pigments. There are many blacks, whites, and grays, for that matter, produced in watercolor, oil, and acrylic paints. Each one is unique and with a specific job to do
