Isn't that the truth. I like this a lot. It's very thought provoking and the choice of colors that you have chosen look wonderful.

Artist Reply: It's hanging in my stairways as it is quite large. I made it for an exhibition with theme The Dutch Golden Age. It was fun to paint in the style of the old masters.:) I respect them even more than I already did. Thank you for your beautiful comment, Craig.

Adrian Russell-Davies 13 Dec 2010

Great concept Anneka. It brought to mind Young Woman with a Water Pitcher by Jan Vermeer, not Pascal. I live in what was called New Holland, so that makes me an expert on such things :) Well done!

Artist Reply: I agree with you, Adrian. The whole mood is more like Vermeer, although I could never create anything close to his beauties of course! Thank you very much for your visit and very kind words!

Elton Houck 22 Sep 2009

first I said she is done a copy of one of the dutch masters, and while running through my mind who the master might me..noticed the computer and I knew who it ws--PASCAL---BLAISE PASCAL---(MAYBE FRENCH BUT DESIGNED THE FIRST COMPUTER!!!)

Artist Reply: Elton, and I really though that you would give me the name of the old painter as I forgot who it was!! I guess I can't have it all, can I? :) Luckily Mr. Pascal delivered us Google in the end! :))

Reynaldo Villarreal 04 Apr 2009

Yes you are very original

Artist Reply: Ulughbek, thank you so much! That's a big compliment, I feel very ordinary myself.

Vasily Zolottsev 18 Mar 2009

Masterpiece, Anneke! I all over again was taken aback, and have then burst out laughing!

Artist Reply: Haha it looks funny doesn't it? It was an assignment for an exhibition, converting the Dutch golden age to modern times. Our world would have looked totally different if they would have had computers in those days! Thank you very much for your wonderful comment to my work, Vasily!

Ethan Vaughn 04 Jan 2009

this is one that brings a smile!

Artist Reply: This was for an exhibition, you should have seen the works of the others! :)) It was big fun to think about how to convert modern times into the Golden Age. Nice that it brings a smile on your face, thank you for viewing!

Patricia Brett 04 Jan 2009

Very unusual! :)

Artist Reply: Thank you for the visit and the kind comment!

Maria Mills 01 Dec 2008

This is a true chuckle! Until you really look, it's an old Dutch Master! What a sense of humor you have.

This lady is well ahead of the rest. The washing machine is out of sight though. Amusing picture.

margaret mckeehan 06 Aug 2008

Wonderful work, you have a lot of talent....

Artist Reply: Hi Margaret, thank you for your kind words, but when it comes to talent, all fingers point at you my friend! :D

AVE HURLEY 11 May 2008

Wow....................!!! What a concept! .. very creatively done... excellent colors and details.I actually had some Amish friends that went 'modern'.. 11 kids they had and the father learned to drive a van... [the other Amish then shunned him!]

Artist Reply: I don't think this woman necessarily needs to be an Amish woman, when I look at the old painters, these clothes were obviously rather common in those days. Although I think morals and opinions will have had quite some similarity with the Amish of today. It was a fun subject to paint for the exhibition.

Ann Howard 04 May 2008

Interesting concept. Great colors. A very unique piece.

Artist Reply: The theme of the exhibition was, convert the golden age to our modern time. I think that was the most diffcult part of the whole thing, plus that I had never worked on such a huge canvas before, which was prescribed too . I had the feeling I was painting three pictures on one canvas. lol I'm glad you like it, thanks a lot, Ann.

Douglas Larsen 14 Nov 2007

Love your humor, as well as your detail! Art et Amour Toujours

Artist Reply: "Art et Amour Toujours", what a lovely phrase that is, I will remember it. Thanks for stopping by, Douglas.

James Duncan 04 Oct 2007

Very interesting concept to include the computor! Great painting skills in your portfolio. Thank you,James

Artist Reply: Including something of our own time into the Dutch Golden Age art was the theme of the exhibition this painting was made for, so it was fun to do so. Thank you for your kind words, James, they are very much appreciated. :)

Maria Aguilar 30 Jul 2007

I love your dutch golden era, incredible colors! The floor is great!

Very interesting piece, painted very well, well executed compostion, and content/symbolism which engages the viewer. well done.

Artist Reply: That are wonderful words, Brian. Thanks a lot for the visit!

Charles Jones 15 Jul 2007

I'll bet Vermeer would have done a similar treatment, though he would have reflected her face in the CRT, I wager. Great technique and a wonderful idea, Anneke. :)

Artist Reply: I think you are right, Charles. Vermeer would have done that, that's why he is the Master. :) Thank you for your beautiful comment! :)

Joanna Jungjohann 15 Jun 2007

Andrew Hunter 24 May 2007

a first class take on the old masters like van gogh and rembrandt with a twist of 21st century modernism also wonder how these painters would cope with how we artists paint,otherwise anneke fine work

Artist Reply: I think the old artists would have loved Photoshop and all the other software. Imagine a Rembrandt in 3D! I'm very curious what that would look like, don't you? Thanks for stopping by, Andrew, always a joy to read your comments.

Vivian Gutierrez 20 May 2007

Very beautiful work with traditionally components of Dutch masters - light, color wheel... with personality idea ... my compliments!

Karin Mc Rae 19 Apr 2007

I agree Great Concept

Gwen Lewis 18 Apr 2007

What a clever way of modernising a painting in the 'dutch interior' style; introducing a piece of such modern technology into a painting of a bygone period and managing to prevent it from 'sticking out like a sore thumb' is one heck of an achievement. Lovely 'of the time' colours and great brushwork.

Artist Reply: What a wonderful words! Thank you, Gwen!

Olga Dmytrenko 16 Apr 2007

Wow! Stylish and unique!

stephanie knight 14 Apr 2007
