Channeling Vermeer
Jonathan Janson paints today’s interwebby people in a 17th c. Dutch sort of way. Among his works are Girl in a Red Cap, Young Man with a Cell Phone, and my favorite, Young Girl Writing an Email.
Janson’s paintings have the luminous quality that made Vermeer famous, and his website, Essential Vermeer, indicates he’s spent a lot of time studying the master. He’s learned some good lessons.
