After more then one year, going to several venues in England and Scotland. The ‘Girl without pearl earring’ has returned safely.
The painting was exhibited as part of the BP Portrait award 2019 in the National Portrait Gallery London and Edinburg.
It was a very nice experience to be part of. Thanks to the great model @Faredajohnson, who stated her complexion is ‘the lightest shade of black’.
I will add to this: Vive la difference!

I had a nice talk with Anneke Oele in my atelier. About the works I made and several other things. It is a sort of introduction or compact showcase of artist working in this region in the city of Groningen.
I am lucky working in an old building from about 1905.
