Someday I will dig out my small pile of papers from my Paris visit and find the painting in my Louvre map. I made notes on it because I'm terrible at remembering this type of thing. :)<br /><br />Living in the Netherlands, I was able to see much of Vermeer's work. I visited The Girl several times and spent a lot of time sitting on the divan opposite her wall and staring.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471937819219493034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-83768367968172947962011-04-10T19:53:41.717-07:002011-04-10T19:53:41.717-07:00Thanks Rachel! I'm glad you dig it. Here'...Thanks Rachel! I'm glad you dig it. Here's a pretty famous pre-raphaelite painting of a girl under water, Ophelia in this case:<br />http://donotdestroy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/millais_-_ophelia.jpg<br /><br />Maybe that's the one you mean? But I like The Girl With The Pearl Earing, too. Vermeer was an amazing painter. I would love to see one of his paintings in person one day!Jed Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833411175703626635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21101554.post-70654133290819265732011-04-10T19:43:06.446-07:002011-04-10T19:43:06.446-07:00This is quite catching to me!

I never have words to describe why it is that certain images do that to me but they certainly do. I think I am particularly drawn (ha!) to expressions. My favorite painting is The Girl with the Pearl Earring and my second favorite painting I can't remember the name to (would have to look it up) but it's in the Louvre and it's a beautiful environment but there's a face underwater that just won't let me look away. I must get caught in the eyes or something. Anyway, rambling... :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471937819219493034noreply@blogger.com
