Another Take

Some years ago, I made a small 3D interpretation of Vermeer's "Girl With A Pearl Earring":

At the time, I really enjoyed the process, and I've had it in the back of my mind to have another go at it.......possibly with a slightly more mature look to the "girl".

Here is the progress of the new piece;

I have a few more famous paintings in mind........."Lady With Ermine", "La Gioconda"......which might stand similar treatment.

In My Studio Today

Here's what is on my studio table today. I started this piece a while ago and have just got back to working on it. It is almost done - just a little more painting, gluing the bust inside the box and doing the outside of the box. The figure is kind of spilling out of the box and into the space in front. I made a "Mona Lisa" piece similar to this some years ago, but I forgot to photograph it before I sold it (can't remember who to, so I can't even beg for a few pictures of it!) I used to do that all the time.............thank heavens for digital photography - it has revolutionized my life.

I had great fun working on this!
