Some time ago my mother and I visited the Mauritshuis at The Hague, Netherlands, in order to show the neighbor's girl around all the goodies of Vermeer and Rembrandt. She was looking out the window to the Prime Minister's tower ('t Torentje) of Mark Rutte and I immediatey saw a way to capture the quality of the light ressembling Vermeer's oil paintings. My roundism style did the rest.
My mother and I visited the Mauritshuis at The Hague, Netherlands where she leaned over in order to look outside to the Hofvijver and I recognized a Vermeer painting in it: same lighting and lots of wooden framing around her. I liked to portray her because after all, she is my mother and a great model to put into my roundish style.
