One of my all-time favourites!


I don't know why I love this one.  Perhaps because it's a beautifully simple painting of the very ordinary.  For some reason it always makes me smile.

If memory serves, that is Van Goughs bedroom.. eh?

Me, too, I love his paintings of ordinary scenes.

I think it is his brustroke that makes them stand out.

Yes, it is his bedroom at Arles. It looks warm and friendly and comforting. You understand the technique, Christy. I just like the content. And the warmth of the colors. The ordinariness.

Love Van Gogh.

A terribly sad, short life, but he was filled with lots of creativity. He was a total genius. Unfortunately, geniuses tend to be overlooked until after death.

I like it too. I think it's how he made the floor look so old and worn and comforting. Same with the colors.
