Light is always associated with discussions on Vermeer paintings. I saw a special on the Ovation channel about Vermeer last night. He is my all time favorite painter. My kids were always getting some kind of art lessons growing up (along with all the language, science, math and history classes). Both my children are excellent artists today and each has a natural eye for beauty.
I loved British Literature when I was in high school and don't think I ever took an actual art class. I liked to sketch back then and have a little folder of my sketches somewhere (I think). My older sister was always taking art classes in college and even studied in Paris for a while. Her gifts to our family always have an artistic flair. My brother is a professional furniture restorer and his wife does beautiful upholstery work. My mom loves flowers and flower arranging and my dad apparently took basket-weaving in college and does woodworking. I guess I never really noticed how much the arts have played a part in my life. (And to brag, I did play the clarinet in 5th grade and sang in the school chorus for several years; plus a year of piano as an adult. Don't be jealous.)
Anyway, here is the last of the gradient color blends. It's way more blended than the other three and should be easy to ply tomorrow afternoon.
