Vermeer

[Hamburgefions]

In the past, I already made two copies of Vermeer's paintings.
I recently finished another one, and as I intend to make at least one more, I decided to post them all in one thread.
Let me start with the two older ones

1. "The Art of Painting" (2020)

Oil on canvas - 100 x 120 cm (41 x 49 in)


W.I.P.

The most challenging item no doubt was this map.

2. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" (2022)

Oil on canvas - 44 x 39 cm (18 x 16 in)


W.I.P.

3. "The Love Letter" (2022) (the recent one).

Oil on canvas - 44 x 39 cm (18 x 16 in)

Hey Mark (again)... This is great stuff. I bet you enjoyed it every minute! He is definitely inspiration to most of us, if not all, and it is awesome to have opportunity seeing it again. Congrats!

Wow, these are amazing, and you have really done an excellent job in capturing his light in The Love Letter, which is not an easy feat. He was a mater at that and so are you!

Thanks Snoball, Kay and Ayin.

Whew….those are impressive! Alot of intense focus needed. Amazing craftsmanship. I like to see the old masters level of painting craft carried on.
