This is another new painting that I begun while in Brooklyn and finished (I think) yesterday here in Grand Rapids. This was done from some drawings I had done a few years ago of my daughter Pearl. The back ground is mostly taken from an early rennesance painting. I really like the way landscape gives a painting a setting as well as feeling of deepth. The blouse she is wearing was part of the inspiration for this piece. It reminds me of queen annes lace. I really love the details of clothes that have decorative potential.
