Peter,

Each of these pieces is extraordinarily accomplished. I'm so depressed that you've done them all before you're 30, and I'm hoping to do as well before I'm 60.

I should think that, yes, Vermeer would have been an influence, given your locale. What a treasure trove of history's greatest art is within moderate traveling distance from you.

My lifelong family friends and neighbours in my home state in the U.S. are Netherlanders. I could notify them of your work, but then they might not look at mine anymore. Still, they'd be able to read the text on your web pages, and I'm afraid I can't.

Can you share with us the kind of art training and instruction that you've had? Also, please tell us a bit about your palette, particularly the decision to work in a limited range of colour. What are your intentions and aspirations with respect to your artistic talents?

Cheers,
Steven
