"When someone you love dies, you never quite get over it.  You just learn how to go on without them. But always keep them safely tucked in your heart."

 The brilliant artwork of post-Impressionist Dutch Master Vincent Van Gogh (1853 â€" 1890) powerfully impacted countless artistic movements. Producing all of his works within a decade, Van Gogh’s output in just one year totaled 150 paintings and drawings. Van Gogh painted outdoors with a special talent for capturing the subtleties of nighttime light and shadow. He suffered from lifelong bouts with mental illness yet created many of his masterpieces while institutionalized.  An amazing fact is that he sold only one painting during his lifetime.

This picture is entitled Wheat Field With Crows.

I particularly like this one which is less known I think.  The Patio.

Anyone visited a gallery or a museum this winter? 

MarsGal

Oh, I like that one Bubble. Love the multi-colored cobblestones. This is one I don't think I've seen before.

Phyllis, thanks for reinstating the forum.

Which is your favorite painter, MG?

MarsGal

It's hard to point to just one, but Rembrandt probably tops the list. I like the his use of light and dark. Rubens is right up there, next, if not beside. Notable, but not at the top are John Constable (very good with clouds, which I hear are hard to paint and look natural), Goya and Gustav Klimt.

Hi Bubble
My favourite artist is John Constable.

And I like L S Lowry

Hi Bubble
Your picture timed 08.54am Sunday I have just noticed is by John Constable.

And I realised it is called 'The Lock', painted in 1824.

It is on the River Stour and is in the area of of Flatford Mills.

I know that as I visited Flatford Mills to see Constables 'The Haywain'  and while there I went  to view where 'The Lock' was painted.

Some countryside of UK is very picturesque.  I was amazed when there of the rich green of the vegetation.  That is due to such plentiful water.

Kelly

Hi Bubble
Indeed it is, that is why the Isle of Man is so green!

turquoise sky

I love the few days a year that the sky turns turquoise and the clouds gain an orange tint to them.
