That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 08, 2020

Local fashion designer lent the model the turban hoping to get some free publicity. It didn’t workout the way he hoped.

“I have no idea what happened to the bowl of cherries.”

“Yes I did keep the earing on while I washed my hair.”

Oh, I thought the shortest were wrapped around her hair

It’s not a pearl, but “girl with the mother-of-pearl disc earring” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

…as seen on Zoom.

I am far too much in love with Vermeer’s work, this specific painting and Scarlett Johansson to make a “funny”. Melcher, you bad boy, you finally found a way to shut me up.

The pleasure of WFM meant she could wear comfy animal slippers as they couldn’t be seen

girl whose mother kept repeating, ‘are you trying to catch flies?’

His next painting, Girl With a Nose Ring, was not as popular.

Just left chemo…

Your earbud fell out.

Monica before the stain on the dress.

“Excuse me, Mister Vermeer/ but must you approach from the rear ?/ The things that a girl/ must do for a pearl/ are growing exceedingly queer…”

Camera Obscura at work here?

“Can anybody find me, somebody, to love?” Queen A Day at the Races

Ivanka upon hearing her commencement speech was cancelled.

While there’s no cure for alopecia, there are work-arounds.

Well pardon my headscarf, but I haven’t been to the salon since March and its a mess under there!

Girl with a Pearl Earring:

has info and links that point to info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. This is considered the artist’s most famous painting; some call it the Dutch Mona Lisa. Yet some fool decided to Photoshop its image, changing the facial colors, etc. (maybe to better match his girlfriend’s or whatever), and called it a renovation. Mr. Melcher chose that coloration for the strip image; but, I refuse to point to it.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 8 works (9 times, with 1 different caption repeat) by him have been used here.

has the prior (my comment there pointed to an earlier post with 9 of these artist info URLs, the second of which may be unresponsive).

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (⌘- or Ctrl-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2465 (June 7, 2020) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

Look, if you don’t give me wear the second one my head always tilts to the left.

“Pearls Before Swine”?

Girl: I told Johannes that he should call it Girl with the Fantastic Shade of Lipstick. But did he listen to me?

“Huh?”

“Good idea! No one needs to know I lost the other earring!”
