Fragments III #!03 20"x20" gouache on watercolor paper
After completion of this piece I realized it reminded me of the work of Vermeer. The black and white checks reminded me of the floors often seen in his work. And sometimes he put a curtain on the left side of the paiting. The orange shape reminded me of the the chair he often put in the work and the triangle the window.
Often we see realism in abstraction and abstraction in realism. It was not my intention to create a work after Vermeer, but sometimes we never know what will be seen in the work.
These are some of Vermeer's paintings. (Images from the internet.)

Interesting, Annell. I see the influences, the tile pattern, the orange color.
I agree with Sherry. What I really find interesting is your explaination and awareness of your own process. Many artists lack the ability to do so. Thank you for another glimpse,
Elizabeth
Thank you for reminding me about Vermeer.. he has always been one of my favorite artists from history.. and I have not thought of him in awhile.. and I do see the influences.
