Fine Art Friday - The Letter G Edition

| | Comments (1)

There are many wonderful "G's" to pick from on a Fine Art Friday. Giotto, Gauguin, Guercino, Grunewald, Goya. But I went for the obvious, because I love him so. Today we will look at some paintings by Vincent Van Gogh.

There is hardly a painting of his that I do not like, so it was hard to narrow down to a few. Then, looking through the pictures, I decided to focus on one subject: vases of flowers. So, here is my boquet to you, dear reader, on this lovely day after Valentine's:

Which was your favorite? I can't choose, I like 'em all.

Happy Friday, ya'll!

never been big on van gogh because he always reminded me of those pointy bras so popular in the fifties, like his work was gonna poke an eye out or something. but thank you for sharing some of these. i was pleasantly surprised. i really do like his boquet of flowers -- would love to see what he'd make of bluebonnets.
