I must read Van Gogh's letters, interesting to explore his life and understand how his paintings came about.Thanks for the comment on my blog, much appreciated.<br /><br />Have a lovely Easter weekend,<br />Annabelle : ) Annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866075790514568788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056586873219716348.post-36203346178085068772014-04-19T05:19:18.122-07:002014-04-19T05:19:18.122-07:00I love that face you drew!

I would so love to see all those works in real life rather than in books or on TV. The van Gogh's are wonderful and how I would treasure seeing the Modigliani. Thank you for sharing this event with me, your enthusiasm and interest in the painters as well as the artworks shines through, and it is so good to 'meet' somebody else who likes to study the artist as well as the paintings.<br />And I am amazed at your beautiful portrait, lovely modelling of the face and I love the way you have shown the hair. It seems a good idea to focus on three colours - no teacher in any portrait class I've been to has ever suggested that. It certainly works well, and I like the earth colours you have used.

I went to Upton House one of our National Trust places recently and saw a personal collection of paintings and porcelain - some wonderful pieces. And the grounds were so perfect in spring sunshine.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133438395480518442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056586873219716348.post-72585235453812142642014-04-18T16:18:56.022-07:002014-04-18T16:18:56.022-07:00When I am next in Pasadena I will definitely check...When I am next in Pasadena I will definitely check out this collection.
