The Girl With a Pearl......

A wonderful model for the artist challenge this week who is Vermeer. I really hated to put all the cracks in her face Her little sister wanted to play too. See her image here. http://365project.org/grammyn/everything-else/2014-10-04 I also did their cousin last year and you can see that here. http://365project.org/grammyn/365/2013-06-30

@anazad511 I am so impressed with your memory of my trip to Atlanta! That is where I saw the real painting with @espyetta and I took a picture of her in front of the museum http://365project.org/grammyn/themes-and-comp/2013-06-25 as well as the one of one of my granddaughters that I mentioned above!
