I think I must be the first to see this! I'm going to bed now at almost midnight in my part of the world with Van Gogh on my mind. Maybe inspiration will come to me in a dream!
In the meantime a very Happy Fourth of July to my American friends (just think you could all have been British!!) and Happy Canada Day to anyone here from that part of the world.
Here's my first post for Magpie Tales!Its about my dream of going back to my native land..The beautiful place where I grew up! Hope you guys enjoy this read!
Have linked a poem written earlier as it seemed so apt. this poem is special as I've attempted the ghazal (Indian poetry) form, with a meter and one line repeated every stanza. Also, the writer's name appears in the last verse.
art, music, dance, poetry....sister muses that inspire the world to hope, to dream, to love. Love the picture. enjoyed writing this week's installation :-) Cheers, lisa
Made a point to NOT read any other posts before writing. Then I saw that what I wrote was another variation on a theme. So, a slightly different tack...
This one wasn't my best but the picture was hard to beat! Lol! I have been busy and haven't gotten to partake lately but I'm glad to be back and hope to participate as much as I can. I enjoy this, it keeps my writing sharp and lets me meet interesting people like all of you! Have a great week! ♥
What a wonderful picture, I just love Vincent's work. I seem to be stuck in haikus at the moment. Sorry to be late here, the picture credits something longer. Tigerbrite

Such a fine mess of color. Makes me feel good.
ReplyDeleteThis is a re-post from last October. The sunshine and a rural landscape brings out the boy in me.

ReplyDeleteI've sunflowers proudly framed in my hallway! Good old Vincent - he knew how to paint (and drink!). Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteIt's weird what a picture can bring out in an over-tired mind! *smile* Happy Fourth of July to those of you on the other side of the pond! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fan of Vincent. This was a treat for me!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are amazing. Were there any left on his palette by the time he finished this? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe've just posted ours. Nothing gets us in the mood for the holiday weekend like a bit of wheat, madness, art and family.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing picture. I love Van Gogh. How to capture his work in words?
