Works of Art I know

Mary Cassatt, American, 1901, Title: Sara in a Green Bonnet
 Joni Pienkowski, American, 1999 Title: Courtney

How are they similar and how are they different?:
The two paintings are similar because they both have the same subjects: young, smiling girls. They are also similar because they seem to highlight the innocence of the girls, using their smiles or the way they are dressed. They both display the children in happiness or contentment, so the mood is the same in both paintings. They are different because the one by Cassatt was done using brighter, and more, colors. That painting is much more vibrant and bright. 

How do you think the artist's visions are the same?:
They both seem to know the girls in the paintings, and show their personality through the way they are posed or the way that they are smiling. They both seem to enjoy painting the particular subjects.
