Vermeer's Nuremberg

While working on this image the term “Dutch Realism” came to mind. An internet search revealed why. Much of what is called Dutch Realism is characterized by a precise realistic style of painting like that of a Willem Koekkoek or a Vermeer. This image started out as a much looser impressionistic piece that somehow morphed into something akin to a painting made with the aid of a camera obscura. How that happened I don’t know, but I really like the work of Koekkoek and Vermeer.

One more example of your dexterity and special technique. Not overdone, and yet visually aesthetic, artistic, and captivating. A refreshing sight. My sincere recognition. DG

Amazing picture and mood, Wayne! Great composition, colors, PP... Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thanks, Daniel. I think the image itself restrained me.
