Today on our tour of international artists, 17th c. artists Josefa de Óbidos, Portuguese painter & Luisa Roldán, first woman sculptor in Spain. #WomensHistoryMonth
Frida Kahlo and Julie Manet (painted by her mother, Berthe Morisot) celebrating #NationalBirdDay.
Marie Braquemond was born #OTD in 1840. She contributed Woman in White to the 5th #Impressionist Exhibition, the year that Berthe Morisot showed Woman at her Toilette and Mary Cassatt showed On the Balcony. Women artists represented that year!
Katherine Cassatt (Mary Cassatt's mother), reading to her grandchildren. The artist was proud of her mother, who didn't read just gossipy newspapers, but actual books. Don't the children look riveted? #GrandparentsDay
It's Norwegian artist Anna Ancher's birthday week. I'll be posting her work every day, starting with Woman in a a Garden. I have a feeling that Ancher treasured Norway's fleeting summers as much as we in the Pacific Northwest do. Her paintings are filled with sunlight.
It's Judith Leyster's birthday (#OTD in 1609). I'm going to say that these folks cavorting in Leyster's The Last Drop, The Merry Trio, and Boy with a Jug are really celebrating Judith's day.
A woman, Chinese, an orphan, a lesbian, Bernice Bing managed to make her mark in the San Francisco art community.When she retreated to the country, she painted abstract landscapes like Mayacamas Vineyard (1963) #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth

Reporter Helen Thomas was on the phone with #MarthaMitchell when MM was kidnapped for telling what she knew about the Watergate break-in. You bet I'll be watching #Gaslit tonight! Joel Coen is the perfect director for this absurd debacle. Portrait of MM by #AliceNeel.
Eva Gonzalez (b. #OTD in 1849) and Gustave Caillebotte were among the mid-19th c. artists who painted subjects surveying the new sandstone apartment buildings and wide boulevards of modern Paris from their balconies.
