Girl in a Turban by Vermeer

Well I did it. Finished and framed. What do you all think?

Girl with a Turban

I always wanted to paint one of the old masterpieces to see if I could recreate it's beauty. I chose one by Vermeer called "Girl in the Turban" from the 17th Century. It was sold in 1882 and that collector donated it to the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. It is amazing to see my painting come to life.
Vermeer was born in Delft in 1632 and died in 1675 at age 43. It took 200 years for his paintings to be recognized as ranking among the great masterpieces.

Spring

We are adding depth by adding more dark washes around each new leaf.

Spring Poppies

The Thursday group at the Klamath Art Gallery have started a new watercolor class under the instruction on Sandy. It is quite enjoyable as she has the attitude that our art should be fun. No, I am not changing my medium, just experimenting and having fun. Enjoy!

Mt. Shasta in June

Added in lots of burnt trees and shrubs. This is taking longer than I thought but it will be worth it to see the final product.
