Johannes Vermeer 1632- 1675
Searching for an Idol, a Role Model, a Mentor. A choice for Poetry Potluck #25....I place very few on a pedestal, but great art is always at the top. GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING...Everything!
A Haiku seems like a simple toast!! Other entries can be found..please look for them.
IDOL
Vermeer paints the girl.
A brush dips into splendor.
Glory to the soul.
