We have been to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam where his famous Sunflower painting resides and also seen his works in Musee d’Orsay, Paris<\/a>, but to visit the Van Gogh Asylum in Saint Remy de Provence where he was admitted for treatment but yet painted more than 100 of his masterpieces is a whole different experience!<\/p>\n\n\n

Vincent Van Gogh<\/strong> , once said, \u201cThere are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it: how to do it<\/i>\u2014 with many drawings and little color; how not to do it \u2014 with many colors and little drawing.”  His painting is easily recognized by the swirly brush strokes, vivid colors, and great composition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a struggling artist who only became famous after his time.  His experiences of handling his suffering and pain as well as his ability to see the beauty in everything is what makes Van Gogh one of my favorite artists. <\/p>\n\n\n
