I had enough time in the museum to really look closely at the Van Gogh paintings - the brushwork, the incredible texture of the paint, the differences in styles and his evolution over time. I almost wish it was the last place I visited on my trip instead of the first but hopefully what I learned will stay with me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-3874854865170233582016-05-23T18:26:04.147-07:002016-05-23T18:26:04.147-07:00You are so kind, Vic and I appreciate it so much! ...You are so kind, Vic and I appreciate it so much!

The Van Gogh Museum is really special and I hope you make it there, Hilda. It is a place that substantially imparts a deep sense of the man and his passion. It is not unusual to hear an artist say that they want to paint what they feel about a subject but Van Gogh accomplished that elusive goal. I admire him greatly and even more since my trip.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-28276008270756570942016-05-23T18:21:03.052-07:002016-05-23T18:21:03.052-07:00It went by so quickly - I never thought time could...It went by so quickly - I never thought time could fly so fast!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-57851749215763433372016-05-23T18:20:08.898-07:002016-05-23T18:20:08.898-07:00So many photos!
