I really would like to spend a few months nearby - enabling me to learn at your skirt tales - I've made note of this as I have two art books I want to read. As with music ... I need to learn - but really appreciate how you've given us an overview of art history from the jumping brain POV - tying it all up with Vincent's last shadow of breath ...

It's a real pity his work wasn't accepted commercially, had it been, he wouldn't have committed suicide I am sure! and we would have had more of his art to feast on. So tragic it ended the way it did.
