Wednesday, February 25, 2004All about Vermeerjuz had a test this morn at the early hours of eight... ok that's very early for me so it's a perfect excuse as now i'm in my room slacking away... but i'm not exactly doing nothing i'm reading my novel, Girl With A Pearl Earring. very beautifully written and evocative... keep me enthralled. it was inspired by a painting by 17th century artist Johannes Vermeer that depicts.. ok the obvious a girl with a pearl earring. she's a fictional muse author tracy chevalier imagined and wrote about in the novel. well so enthralled by the story that i searched the net n i found out that there's actually a site that allows me to tour ard the vermeer's house with details like the architectural plan and even their inventory list. wo. and yes also a art collection of all his 36 paintings... with some them of conceived in the content of the novel itself. hmm which makes me think is it a good thing that i hav such access to these... wat's reading without that bit of imagination and the lure of uncertainty. esp when there's now a movie based on this novel... ok but nevertheless it's still a world i get drawn into...back to the days when all paint colours was grinded and extracted from nature and families having as much as eleven children are the norm. away from the world where paint colours smell synthetic and come straight from the tube and a brood of children is virtually non-existent. amaranthine froze in time on 11:27 AM |
it does not take much effort to see past the mundane and notice the little details in life
