 Thank you, dear friends!
I am very honored to be here with the works of true masters! :-)
This photo actually was not taken for DPC. My daughter's friend from a dance class is half Dutch, and I noticed the resemblance with Vermeer's girl on one of the photos from the rehearsal. Her mom loved the idea of trying to recreate the painting! I believe one of the canvases she printed is in Holland, in the girl's grandparent's house.
Here's the beginning of the project, the end, and of course the inspiration.

Thank you again for your kind votes and comments!

I was one of your 10s. You captured both the resemblance and the spirit of innocence in this photo. Fantastic work.
