Phyllis, is this why you always go on about Vermeer chocolate liquer?
Link: http://www.peppergalleryboston.com/artists/bermanhtml/berman _text.htm

"I have always loved the serenity of a
      Vermeer painting and the stillness that portrays chaos in a Piero della
      Francesca battle scene.  For me, the pictorial surface order of these
      pictures is not static but charged with the anticipation of impending
      movement."

That link doesn't work for me.  If it's about Jan vermeer - a wonderful artist, second only to Jan van Eycke IMO.

"
      Phyllis Berman’s new work continues to refine the quiet surface order
      found in her earlier paintings, but presents a broader range of thematic
      concerns.  These large-scale realist still life interiors verge on
      abstraction, yet are remarkable for their crisply modeled forms and strict
      command of visual detail.  Each painting is comprised as a dialogue
      between a handful of objects and their setting.  The play of light and
      cast shadow upon an expansive wall gives these paintings an atmospheric
      clarity that is richly expressed through the balance of vibrant color
      against neutrals.  Berman’s paintings exhibit both pictorial tension and
      quiet stillness, and in this, they are reminiscent of Northern European
      painting."



Also heres a picture of her:

Are you German? Bermann sounds a like a German surname.

I have German relatives, but was born in the UK and have also lived in the US.
