The Vermeer/Glowing Embers
4 Day Class

This Dutch roombox was inspired by the work of the famous painter, Johannes Vermeer of Delft, reflecting a time period in the mid 1600's.  The front trim is classic Dutch style.  The exterior walls are finished with weathered  brick and plaster, while the sloped roof is finished with copper and patina.   A small up stairs window allows the viewer a glimpse of the shadowy attic.  The interior focuses on a fireplace that has been surrounded with Delft tiles.  The remains in the fireplace are soft and glowing, adding a feeling of cozy warmth to the room.  Complementary tiles cover the floor.  The window wall on the left side permits entrance of faint light from an illuminated exterior street scene.  Soft interior illumination completes this wonderful project.  The size measures 11-1/2" wide by  9-1/2" deep by  22" high.
