![]() | Betsy Robinson's Bridal Collection commissioned Patricia to paint A Day in the Life of painting. Patricia painted in the store through the next three weeks. She met the staff and photographed those who were to be included in the painting. Betsy especially wanted the seamstresses included. They are behind a wall and not visible in the store, so Patricia depicted them in the foreground of the painting sewing, altering, and ironing. With permission from the Bride, Patricia included her being fitted for her gown. The Studio work took two months to complete. |

Patricia painted A Day in the Morning of painting in Ms. Emily's class at the Greenspring Montessori School. Patricia painted in the classroom over several weeks. She first painted the classroom then added children as she saw them working around the classroom. Children asked Patricia lots of questions about her painting and found themselves in the painting. The Studio work took three months to complete. |

![]() | Patricia Bennett's painting on the cover of the United Way of Central Maryland's Tocqueville Society book. The painting was designed so that the red pole on the play set was the spine of the book. Note the backdrop of Baltimore City's pretty skyline and Hanover Street Bridge Despite the apparent pleasantness of this playground, Patricia did not feel safe painting here alone and there was the constant sound of helicopters and police sirens. This is a challenged area, especially for children. |
