Vermeer or Rockwell?


Put these two masterpieces together and there's whiff of familiarity. The painting on the left is Little Street painted by Johannes Vermeer and the one on the right is Family Walking to Church by Norman Rockwell. It seems as though Rockwell was influenced by Vermeer, if not consciously, then at least sub-consciously. Whatdoyouthink?

Vermeer-The Geographer

The Geographer by one of my heroes, Johannes Vermeer 1632-1675. I have been so interested in learning to glaze because I would like to capture this kind of beauty in my painting.
