Laurel, is there any way to read this article online?
Can you somehow post a LINK in your BLOG to the article?
Thanks for your interest - I checked the Portrait Society of America site where they usually publish the articles after the hard copies have gone out but the Cecilia Beaux Forum section is currently under renovation, so the article is not yet available online.
