Very cool. I like that you have done your own take on this famous painting. Some lovely use of tone.

Very nice work Kelij66. I do have one suggestion for you. You might want to soften her look a little to go with the beauty of the painting!

I have always wanted to do this girl - have read the book, The Girl with the Pearl Earing, fascinating story.

Nice color and draping; especially the knotted scarf.
She would look softer/prettier if her facial features were more feminine.
Great attempt at Vermeer's Master portrait. Not as easy as it appears to be.

Skin tones are so difficult, and you have beautifully executed a lovely portrait, by using color, and texture.
