Sunbeam

    Here is the finished painting, Sunbeam , 20x16, oil/linen. When I took the photo that brought about this painting, I can't deny that all I could think of  was, "What would Vermeer do?"... Well, I am definitely not Vermeer, but his work was in my head throughout this painting... particularly  ' The Girl with the Red Hat' which is, by Vermeer standards, noted for its spontaneity, immediacy and informality.... all three are worthy goals to aspire to in my own painting.
