Oil on Panel 9"x10"
With frame:(black, wood, outside measurement 16"x18")
I have recently been powerfully drawn to the work of two artists: Turner, and Vermeer.
And so, I begin this next phase of exploration into art, by painting that which I am eager to understand.
This first painting is after Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”. I liked the glowing light, and the luminous color in this piece of work, and the way Vermeer painted the softness of the skin.
Like a vision emanating from the darkness, she seems to belong to no specific time or place.
Vermeer painted the original between 1665-1666.
Please Email me if you have any questions, if you are interested in purchasing this painting, and for shipping information.

You did a great job with it.
Thanks Mary, I appreciate your comment. One of the things I really enjoyed about this painting as I was working on it, was the contrasting brushwork between the areas which were painted loosely, and the velvety smooth transitions of the skin.
I love this painting. I just watched the movie Girl with a Pearl earring a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Do you have instructions anywhere for how to make the small journals that are used in your class? I saw the video and I know how to fold and stitch the pages together, but I wondered about the type of fabric you used, the cardboard and measurements, etc. Also, what is the pound or measurment for the drawing paper? Will it take watercolor? Thank you.
