I enjoyed reading up on the paintings&#8230;in some instances new technology had changed what we know about them, and I&#8217;m literally CATCHING UP on the news since last time I studied art history! In the case of Vermeer&#8217;s painting&#8230;in 2014 we started talking about the fact that it&#8217;s not even a pearl earring she&#8217;s got! Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Girl_with_a_Pearl_Earring\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Girl_with_a_Pearl_Earring\">wikipedia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theartnewspaper.com\/2023\/02\/08\/the-girl-with-a-glass-bauble-earring-why-vermeers-painting-probably-did-not-depict-a-real-pearl\">art news <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpreting her face was challenging, I want to make her fierce, defiant, strong-willed and maybe a little intimidating (I made her quite big). You&#8217;ll see I&#8217;ve painted only women in this series. I want them to be made by a woman&#8230;and given fresh life by someone who &#8220;gets it&#8221;. Take what you want out of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cannot wait to see who buys the original, and I am also really keen to make good prints of this to sell to make this series affordable to most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another wonderful adventure in my Iconic Series, where I interpret truly iconic pieces of art.
