Ramadan 2014
Salam Ramadan to all Muslims.
Made this personal note from found objects around my mother in- laws house. The pencil, pair of glasses and eraser represent me.
You can do photo like this too instead of finding images from the Internet. Just look around you and see what can be transformed into letters. Some of the things you can use: nails, rubber bands, string, pen, pencil, eraser, bottle cover, etc.

Masterpiece Through My Eyes: Girl With Pearl Earrings
My version of Girl With Pearl Earrings.
The head is big, that’s just me and my liking to draw big head. I changed her clothing to Dutch traditional costume and made the background lighter; somehow the yellow didn’t blend well with blue, but my rationale is art is never perfect. The imperfectness adds value.
Here’s the original.
The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring (Dutch: Het Meisje met de Parel) is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterworks and, as the name implies, uses a pearl earring for a focal point. It has been in the collection of the Mauritshuis gallery in The Hague since 1902.
The painting is signed “IVMeer” but not dated. It is unclear whether this work was commissioned, and, if so, by whom. In any case, it is probably not meant as a conventional portrait.
The image is a tronie*, the Dutch 17th-century description of a ‘head’ that was not meant to be a portrait. After the most recent restoration of the painting in 1994, the subtle color scheme and the intimacy of the girl’s gaze toward the viewer have been greatly enhanced.[3] During the restoration, it was discovered that the dark background, today somewhat mottled, was initially intended by the painter to be a deep enamel-like green. This effect was produced by applying a thin transparent layer of paint, called a glaze, over the present-day black background. However, the two organic pigments of the green glaze, indigo and weld, have faded.
*Tronie is a term that refers to a type of picture made familiar by Rembrandt and his followers.Tronies were based upon living models, including the artists themselves. However, they were not intended as formal portraits.
