Tribute to Vermeer

IMG_2303

I based this painting on an image purported to be a self portrait of Vermeer as it appeared in his painting The Procuress of 1656. I added a copy of his Girl with a Pearl Earring and included tapestries as were common in many of his paintings.

Adam and Eve

This painting was commissioned my friend  Rich Robinson. The original was painted by his relative George Richmond in the 1800’s. The top pic is my copy in its frame and the bottom pic shows my copy with a pic of the original. My painting now hangs in Rich’s home on the isle of Jersey in the United Kingdom.
