DeleteVery interesting. I have not been one of your readers long enough to know about your interest in Van Gogh. Is there a particular reason? Just wondering. Love the sunflowers. They are such happy summer flowers!
ReplyDeleteMy seventh grade art teacher introduced me to Van Gogh and took me to the art gallery in Kansas City to see a couple of his original works. I have loved him ever since! <3 And, yes, I agree! Sunflowers ARE happy summer flowers and they make me feel happy all over! Thanks for dropping in and taking the time to comment!
