This is the first of three canvases based on Jan Vermeer's painting Woman with a Water Jug from 1662. The next two in the series become progressively more abstracted and can be seen in the next images here on my website. The size of the original Vermeer is the same as the size of the map in my painting in the upper right corner.

A continuation of my first series of working in a contemporary abstracted style from Jan Vermeer. After the 3 painting series before this one with being inspired by his Woman with a Water Jug, this and the next two canvases were based on Vermeer's painting The Milkmaid from 1658.

This piece is one of three based on The Milkmaid from 1658. I had intended it to have a more classical feel, but the painting took its own turns. As I was working in my sketchbook figuring out direction on the piece, I kept scrawling in different ways a name I made up based on a feminized hybrid of Vermeer and Picasso (due to the harlequin pattern that ended up on the right arm of the figure in this painting). I decided to scrawl it onto the lower right section of the canvas to reinforce the composition and stay true to process. As a side note, when trying to get a gmail address later, and having all of the versions on my own name seemingly unavailable, I used 'Vermassa' instead, and continue to do so to this day.

During a trip back to NYC, I stood in front of a body of German jousting armour making sketches in the amazing collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These drawings in a tiny moleskine sketchbook became the reference material for this large canvas when I returned to my studio in Toronto. This painting guarded many doors of homes we moved to over the years after, as a sort of icon of protective energy.
