Happy Birthday, Vincent!

Today is Vincent Van Gogh’s birthday. Now why in the world does that matter, since he’s long dead? Well, he’s one of my favorite artists, right up there with Charles Schulz and Micheangelo, among others. Some say he was crazy, but I say he was crazy like a genius! His Starry Night is my all time favorite painting. The swirls of colors, the brightness of the moon and stars, and the beautiful blends of blues. It speaks to me like no other painting.

In honor of his birthday, here’s a link to the Vincent Van Gogh Gallery. There’s lots of info and pictures of his paintings. Here’s a link to the Van Gogh Museum where on March 3 they unveiled a comic based on his life. They also have coloring pages available to download. I might just download some for myself and color them 🙂 Why not?

And finally, here is a link to Don McClean’s, “Starry Starry Night” set to pictures of Vincent’s paintings. Enjoy!
