History
- Check the archives for Lessons from the Pharaoh's Tomb, Part Two from November, 2010 through March, 2011 and Part One project January through October 2009 - both of which came about after a trip to Egypt in 2009. Similarities between historical pigments used in tombs and temples to that of the much later Golden Age of Dutch Art were discussed. The Part Two exhibit can be viewed onlne by Galerie Gabrie, of Pasadena, CA.
Note: This blog began during the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled in the U.S. during 2006-07. All eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries in Portland, Oregon, June 2007.
This is a real beauty and it drew me in immediately. Even in this small format I could see the reflection of Vermeer's milk pouring maid reflected in your brush can. Very nice. Very elegant.

Hi Sander, You have true eagle eyes. That is indeed the Vermeer with the maiden pouring the milk jar. I've always loved the concept of "a painting in a painting." This one fit perfectly in the composition. Best, Margret
