Friday Featured Art: First Steps

It seems that when most people think of van Gogh, they picture irises and sunflowers and him with a bandage around his head. When we visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art last summer, I was pleased to see a variety of works by van Gogh. I don't remember seeing this one, but I really like it. It's called First Steps, after Millet. Millet's version was kind of a washed out pastel picture, but I think this one is so endearing.

    I love this piece. Really. Paula gave me a book of van Gogh recently. In my opinion, he is the master of Color.

    I thought it was really sweet. I've enjoyed seeing some of his lesser-known works.
