I LOVE Vincent Van Gogh and the beautiful paintings he left us to enjoy and admire. (The painting above is a little 2x3 inch study I did of his Cypress Field paintings) I've been reading about his life and more importantly his attitude about the world around him. He had a love for people and nature and his passion was to express his love for them through his art. Here is a quote by Van Gogh whose birthday was yesterday...
"I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to LOVE people."

Thanks Chuck!
I'm so glad the quote left an impression on you! Perhaps the reason so many of us love Van Gogh is because his intentions were so pure.
Love your blogs! The pictures and excerps are like candy....artistic yumminess!
