Sometimes I like to pretend I can do "academic art."



(Jan Vermeer Woman Holding a Balance/ Woman Weighing Pearls c.1664)

I want to try doing more reproductions of paintings I like. I want to feel like I was the one who created these images, re-enacting their birth in some sort of bizarre, backwards mystic-play.

I need to finish my book soon. Midterms are almost over.

Oh wow, I'm shocked at how small the painting is. They say he used a camera obscura, I wonder how large the projection was.
