The pearl

Must you resign yourself to a lifetime of pain? No, because pain is a thin veil that covers the truth of who you are. Take three blessed steps to return to yourself.

I told y'all last week that I had been remiss at sharing PEARLS with you for Pearls and Lace Thursday for much too long. I will be making up for that today!! What do you think?? This is the tray from that old raggedy trunk that I thought…

Three climate activists were arrested after two people glued themselves to Johannes Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' painting on Thursday.

Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most famous painting. It is not a portrait, but a ‘tronie’ – a painting of an imaginary figure. Tronies depict a certain type or character; in this case a girl in exotic dress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear. Johannes Vermeer was the master of light. This is shown here in the softness of the girl’s face and the glimmers of light on her moist lips. And of course, the shining pearl. | © Mauritshuis.
