Art Thursday... Morisot or Self-portrait?

   This Manet is called "Berthe Morisot With Veil." The interesting thing about it, art historians say, is that it looks as though Manet might have been projecting a bit of himself into this portrait of Berthe.  The lacey edge of her veil does give the impression of a beard, doesn't it...?  Perhaps it was his sly way of staking his claim?

I'm here! Really, I am...

I've failed you. I've been in my writing cave and have let several Thursdays slip by without the promised Art Thursday paintings.

There will be one tomorrow. Please check back. In the meantime, a quick update:

I've been hard at work finishing up THE ACCIDENTAL PRINCESS (October, Silhouette Special Edition), a fun story about a woman who discovers her royal roots midlife. In the midst of this, I broke my foot. Well, not in the midst of writing (that evokes some strange possibilities), but on this deadline when I SHOULD'VE been writing.  Probably the Universe's way of forcing me to stay at my.  Geeez -- talk about extreme measures. <vbg>

Okay, painting tomorrow. I promise.

And in the next few weeks I'm going to have some exciting news... so check back...
