In my previous post (See: Am I an Artist?) I waffled on on about whether or not I should think of myself as an artist. To illustrate that post I chose, pretty much at random a Vermeer painting.

Towards the end of what was, for me a fairly long post I noted:

So, in light of the above, am I an artist? I still feel that calling myself an artist feels a little pompous. However, I suspect that I probably am. I’m just a very mediocre (at best) one. I don’t think Vermeer has much to worry about.

Not long afterwards I went to a presentation jointly organized by the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society (where I volunteer) and the Briarcliff Manor Congregational Church. The presentation took place in the church, which is an early 20th Century Norman style church built on land donated by the founder of the village. After a great presentation we adjourned to another room (maybe the vestry?) for refreshments.

While there I noticed this attractive arrangement on one of the windowsills.

I still don’t think that Vermeer has much to worry about, but I’m getting closer and I really like the photograph.
