    This blog documents the creation of eleven paintings inspired by the 17th century palette of works in Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, an exhibition that traveled to three U.S. cities in 2006-07. During June of 2007, all eleven paintings were presented as my exhibit, Lessons from the Low Countries, while the Rembrandt exhibit debuted its three-month stay at the Portland Art Museum in Portland, Oregon. Read the documentation and see all finished works of this year-long project in the August 2006 through June 2007 entries on this blog.

Dutch Treat Sneak Peek

Lessons_2_detail_tulips This is all you will get to see of this painting until June when my exhibit opens at Lawrence Gallery. This color theme was taken from the palette of the painting shown below by Gabriel Metsu. This image is a small detail of a much larger painting which is now finished. The vermilion red was patterned after the red in the woman's dress.

Oh, you're such a tease! I can't wait to see the rest! Hmmm. I wonder if I can book a workshop in Portland as an excuse to come up. ???

Margret,
It is hard to imagine the magnitude of your project. You definitely need your assistants. The results (what I can see from your "sneak peeks") are, as always with your work, magnificent.

I am dying to see the rest of the paintings & doubt I can wait until June.

Thanks for taking the time to write this blog so we can see how you are progressing.

Wanda
