Exactly what inspired me I am not sure this week but I came across Girl With A Pearl Earring - Johannes Vermeer.
I got curious about other paintings of people where the story was about the earring. So I went looking for specifically the word Earring in the title of the work and surprised myself with the number I found in just a short time.
Vermeer's painting has had several names over the years, Girl In A Turban, Young Girl In A Turban, Portrait of A Young Girl and a few other. The earring in the painting has even been accused of being a fake. It also makes an appearance in at least 9 other Vermeer Paintings. But that is all just whispers that increase the mystery and not why I am here today.
Voltaire said "The ear is the avenue to the heart."
Jennifer Lopez loves to adorn the avenue.
This week enjoy .... Earring - Adornment.
