Chasing Vermeer

Blue Balliett, author of "Chasing Vermeer," talks about how illustrator Brett Helquist was able to make the paintings in the book so real, and also discusses the puzzles interwoven throughout the story and the power art can have.  The full interview from a 2004 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.

Nantucket Ghost Radio series by Nantucket’s White Heron Theatre Company! Based on “Nantucket Ghosts”, the work of Blue Balliett! This put me in mind of my Ghost Adventure last year “Finding Augustus C. Lake”: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Y6v8RlmBs/?igshid=wocqdymvy2dp “In the theatre we have a tradition. Whenever the stage goes dark between performances, we always like to leave a single light burning in the house until the curtain can rise again. We call it – a “ghost light.” And until we can all meet once more at White Heron, we’re pleased to offer you something we like to call our Ghost Light Series. Original Radio Drama created especially for you, our Nantucket audience. Nantucket’s White Heron Theatre Company presents White Heron Radio Theatre. Our first series, The Ghost Light Series, is adapted and directed by Mark Shanahan from Blue Baillett’s book Nantucket Ghosts, 44 True Accounts. Performed by White Heron’s award-winning actors. Original music, sound design and audio production by John Gromada. Produced by White Heron Theatre Company.

Balliett: Chasing Vermeer

[lollypopliz4]

Word: Collector's (5/11) The art world and art collectors will always been intriguing to me. Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett takes place in Hyde Park, Chicago and deals with the theft of the painting by Johannes Vermeer, A Lady Writing. Middle schoolers, Petra and Calder dig into the mystery and become better friends because of it. #justonewordbookphotochallenge #chasingvermeer #blueballiett #aladywriting #johannesvermeer #bretthelquist #code #artworld #artcollectors #collectors
