There is the quality in Mrs. Richard
sons work which would indicate even
without hearing her express them that
those were her views on life and art.
1t impresses one with its honesty and
conscientious care. There can be no
doubt that the artist loves her work for
its own sake not for the fame she
can win by II. She strives for per-
lection as an end in isself. regardless
Of the judgments that may be passed
by others. There is power and brill
lance and apt characterization in her
pictures, but above all else there is sin
cerity and earnestness.
Mrs. Richardson is working now on
a picture of what she refers to as her
favorite subject. 1t is a young mother,
herself almost girl, clasping her baby
to her breast. 1t is executed in way
that leaves no doubt of the artists love
for her theme. The baby is such a real
little baby with the soft fringe of fair
hair little rumpled and the sleep flush
on the rounded cheek and tiny ear. just
as we have all seen in real life. There
is a look of rapture in the face of the
young mother, not Madonna at all.
