So, last week my daughter-in-law invited me to go with her and a friend to see the Van Gogh documentary 'A New Way of Seeing'. Great title, right? I decided to dress for the occasion and wear something appropriate, around my neck that is.
This is one end i.e. half the scarf.
Little things please little minds, hey?
Although I enjoyed the film, I have to say the promise of the title was left unfulfilled. The most interesting feature for me was to see and trace the places where Vincent was born, lived and worked. Views of various paintings were, of course, wonderful, eye-popping. But for me, not even a lit movie screen image can replace the experience of actually standing in front of one of his works. They have such presence. Wouldn't you agree?
