Mrs. Howard Cushing (Ethel Cochrane) ...Back in Boston, he married a beautiful redhead, Ethyl and she became a muse for his paintings. [http://madammeow-hollygaboriault.blogspot.com/2011/11/paintings-by-howard-cushinghoward-who.html] Cushing's style of portraiture was influenced by the Art Nouveau and Orientalist movements. His close friendship with James McNeill Whistler sometimes resulted in striking similarities in their works. The flame-haired Ethel was her husband's favorite model.
