Went to Amsterdam to see van Gogh's blue iris, only to find that it was in NYC on exhibit today was the last day of the exhibit and I finally got to see it!!

I really love that one especially, even tho it originally had purple irises and the white roses were pink! The lakebed red paint, used in the 4 paintings I saw, all but disappeared! He was doing well at an exhibit right around the time of the paintings, a few months before his death. I believe the crows in the wheat field was one of his last paintings. Which are your favorites, or most favorite?

I'd like to see that lake bed red paint. Has it aged well?
-
I know it is silly, but I have a starry night bed spread.

My oldest on her recent vacation in Italy took a picture of a street artist in Florence having replicated the painting...Girl with the Pearl Earring. When I texted and told her that Paul owned the original...She texted me back and said...Very Cool!!

I saw it in the Mauritshuis in de Hague, how many GWTPE paintings are there? That's really cool if he does... 1 of 34 and the most popular one!!

I really like the swirls and how many little brush strokes of different colors comprise them.

Heres the slide show about the exhibit. It shows how the paintings originally looked!
It's really interesting to go to the van Gogh Museum and you can really see how his technique and palate knife or brush strokes and style developed over time... It's incredible! -

My Macau theater debut was a success. If you count a very limited run in a small theater a success. Nothing caught on fire and no one was injured, so I do.

I'm on my way home.
