I had forgotten how much I enjoy learning about art and artists. I was 'helping' Amanda last night with her art history paper, when the spark inside rekindled. (Like that?) :) Many moons ago in my art history class I did a report on Artemisia Gentileschi and her painting, Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes. She was one of the only women painters at that time and was ridiculed for it. Her father was an artist as well. I just love the way she paints, how she uses shadows and such. So here are a few of her paintings. Enjoy!
