JOHANNES VERMEER
This painting is from a book that is on my wish list called VERMEER The Complete Works by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. .....Many of Vermeers works were of woman posed near a window with the light falling in on them and are described by Mr. Wheelock as depicting a quiet moment of contemplation - when one gazes outward but looks within, a window into an individual's spiritual nature. Ahhh what a truly extraordinary idea in today's 20th century blur of rush, rush, rush....His work is like a breath of fresh air to me. The colors and the detail are amazing. He is one of my heros.
