About me

vermeer.jpg

This has always been one of my favorite pictures, so I painted it with colored pencil. It's based on the book "Girl with the Pearl Earring", by Johannes Vermeer. If you're interested in the book (or the movie) click here. It's funny at first glance this picture looks very romantic, but below is the series of pictures which precedes this one. Put in context it gives my "favorite" a whole new meaning!

OUCH!!! He's piercing her ear!

In the movie Vermeer is played by Colin Firth. A puppet for his movie wife - bleh!

"The girl" is played by Scarlett Johansen.
