tantalise
portraits
in

VERMEER’S GIRLS
Girl with a jug or necklaced
with pearls,lute and guitar
over the centuries seen from
afar.In intricate detail,a patient
design, of portraits in time.
These looks of love into
eternity’s mirror.Their beauty
his art with a delicate touch,now
frozen in time.Which muse shall
we choose,and which to lose.

RED HAT GIRL
her beauty,his art

Vermeer never disappoints, capturing people muted in shadows
Officer and laughing girl is a weird name for this one
I have seen many laughing people, she barely smiles
But who am I to argue with the artist who named the piece?
The officer is dressed brilliantly in brighter colors than usual
Vermeer’s paintings are almost always done in anything but red
The hat is as impressive as the woman’s bonnet is Dutch dull.
The fascination for me in this piece is the window and the map.
The window is a masterpiece, I cannot fathom recreating it.
The map holds my attention due to the immaculate details of it.
Vermeer knew what he was doing; his strokes are exquisitely done.
It seems odd the girl is sitting rather than working; quite uncommon.

Domestic interiors
falling pearls
of splendour
the everday
in
quiet,calm
still snapshots
of life
hints of the unsaid
Indelible
seared deep
in memory
Unsolved enigmas
conjecture preserved
in paint
Silent sounds
echo
& stir
with familiarity
the moments of interplay
vivant
intimate
intricate details
begin the beguine
joys outflows
perfection
preserves the serene
mirrors the sublime
with emphasis
& suggestion
stresses
of the fanciful
&the significant
with
implications
&illusions
thru
the keyhole
of domestic
virtue
a woman
sits
questioning
concerned
a focussed
intimacy
of
the
eternal
nature
unguarded
moments
generational
& contemporary
through the
ages
