"Looking at the stars always makes me dream. Why, I ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?" -Vincent van Gogh
As cliche as it sounds, he's one of my favorite artists. Not really due to the Starry Night, because that may be one of my least favorite of his. However, one of my most frequently visited websites is the collection of Vincent Van Gogh. I've gone through 1000s of his works, pencil/watercolor/oil alike. I've enjoyed most.
Which is more than I can say for a lot of the artists I've studied.
And it's not even because we both share similar love for Longfellow's poetry (apparently).
I have you fast in my fortress,
and will not let you depart
But put you down in the dungeon
In the round tower of my heart
And there I shall keep you forever,
Yes, forever and a day
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin
And moulder in dust away!
-The Children's Hour by H.W.L
There's a simple oil work of women working in a vineyard by van Gogh that I want to place in my future living room. I hope I can get a copy on canvas somehow.
On another note, being without facebook kind of makes giggle. Also, I can't believe I already have a status dedication (according to Ali).
Sorry to you guys who've lost multiple tagged photos, I'll be back soon.
I think, anyway.
