Liefs, Vermeer (and waiting until the rain to stops)

While waiting for a new project to start (see previous post "Oriënt goes oriëntal"... I just can not start because it rains all the time!) I am working on artworks for a upcoming groupshow about the love and marriage of the painter Vermeer. The exhibition will be held in the old church where Johannes Vermeer married his wife Catharina Bolnes in 1653.

I just finished painting the Vermeer wedding plate. In the old spelling, "getrouwd" (married) is written with an "t" on the end like they usually did in the 17th century.

Participating artists (from the Netherlands and China, because some of the artist are involved in the "Delft-Jingdezhen 400 years Exchange" project):

Jeroen Bechtold, Janneke Bruines,
