Title
Girl with the Pearl Earring
Artist
Kevin Callahan
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
This painting is from my “Girl, Woman, Girl” series. Simone is my favorite model having painted her numerous times. While attending a Painting Intensive at the San Francisco Art Inst. I stayed with her father. I “captured” her asleep in her father”s bed, a picture of 10 year old innocence. I was particularly struck by the richness of the blankets and the folds and layers which create partial images. I used nearly solid colors and let the line create the flow, fold and feel of bulk. The title, of course, makes reference to both art history and popular culture.

Love the tones and and contrasting values here. I like the intimate style of this picture. It has a voyeruistic aspect. This is always there when watching someone sleeping.Love it!
