Welcome to another Tuesday with TED. This week we are listening to novelist Tracy Chevalier. When Tracy looks at paintings, she imagines the stories behind them: How did the painter meet his model? What would explain that look in her eye? Why is that man … blushing? She shares three stories inspired by portraits, including the one that led to her best-selling novel “Girl With a Pearl Earring.”
A fascinating look at how one author gets ideas for her work.
Tracy Chevalier looks at paintings and imagines the stories behind them. Would you have imagined the same story or something different? How might another art form inspire your creativity?
Until next time,
Cynthia Patton
