in vincent's shadow



Tonight I painted while listening to Simon Schama discuss the life and work of Van Gogh. I have always observed Van Gogh from a distance, perhaps made a little nervous by his dangerous, frenzied life. I make a living from painting, but he made a life from it. It is both inspiring and intimidating to hear the words of someone who coulld not separate life (or sanity) from paint.

I love it when inspiration shows through, it's nice to see you push yourself!
