Art comes to life when the original is right in front of you. Most of my favorite paintings and works aren't my favorites because they look good in a book. They are my favorites because of the way I felt when I saw them in person. Do you feel the same way?
Thanks for capturing these images Erin. Please don't sue me for stealing/editing your images without permission.
Seraut's pointillist dots up close... step away and morph together to create an image. Amazing, really.

Brushstrokes tell a story... I can almost see Van Gogh furiously layering paint with his palette knife when I see this image. You definitely don't get that from this:

Wow, she got really good pictures of Van Gogh's texture! I totally feel the same way about art. It has so much more of an impact when viewed in person. Another thing I love about seeing art in person is the memory attached with it. Seeing a certain piece again can instantly take me back to the day I saw it, who I was with, etc. Love it.
Great photos. I love reading your travel log of the summer Les. It's really amazing how you have told of your adventures through pictures. I feel like I'm there.
Incredible pictures Erin! Thanks for sharing with us Lesley! I love the close up on Van Gogh's piece. Gorgeous!
I'm flattered you would share my pictures! Thanks for brightening them up so they look decent. :)
I love thick paint! That's how my grandpa used to paint. Makes me want to reach out and touch it... I wouldn't of course... but I would want to.
