pick#SummerSouls Day 11: Part of the Katie Museum series, this time Katie brings us inside five of Van Gogh‘s masterpieces, beginning with the gorgeous #Starry Night. However, try as she might, Katie just can‘t reach those magical, bright stars. Not one to give up easily, she was resourceful enough to find something from one of Van Gogh‘s paintings that would allow her to reach the skies. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j4y

When Robert (my son) was about 5 we visited my brother who was then living in Brooklyn. We went to the MOMA & Robert was enthralled with Starry Night. That experience resulted in his lifelong love of art.

pickThis did a great job of showing the ways Van Gogh and Gauguin were able to inspire, influence, learn from, teach, and compete with each other during the 9 weeks they lived together, and how it changed and informed each of their work during that period and also going forward. This interplay between artists is something I‘ve always been fascinated by, so I loved reading about this! BUT I found the writing style challenging. 👇🏼
Settling in for a #hyggehour of history and paintings. It‘s been a tough week here, so I‘m looking forward to an hour of just relaxing.
I‘m about to start my #bookspin book. I chose it from a “this spine is calling to me” category, but when I opened it I was surprised by my favorite endpapers of all time! I wonder if I should have a “fun endpapers” category 🤔 @TheAromaofBooks
I got “this spine is calling to me” again! this time for my #bookspin slot, and I decided on The Yellow House. My #doublepin was something from my #auldlangspine list. I just started The Vaster Wilds yesterday morning, but I‘m already drawn in. @TheAromaofBooks

I adore this cosy image and quote. You can always rely on Van Gogh for wisdom and clarity.
