Van Gogh is a worldwide favorite painter of all times.

The reason why is no mystery.  He was a fabulous painter.

Above are irises in a garden.

Below are irises in a vase.  Personally, I have never had good luck with iris in vases.  They have a very short shelf life.  But I have different aims than Master van Gogh.

I love this next painting more than all the others.  I like how unusual the viewpoint is.  Di sotto in su in Italian.  Seen from below.

It is great fun to look at the impasto paint van Gogh used, and to follow his brush or knifework as he laid the paint on the canvas.  It is like putting your feet in his footprints.
