Through Rose Colored Glasses

(Composed and performed by Reynold D.

(Composed and performed by Reynold D. Philipsek2015 copyright Zino-Rephi Music BMI) 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer had such an effect on me that in my early thirties, I decided to go to art school part-time to learn how to paint with oils.
