Sunday Selfie with Yang
I really didn't want to do a selfie today. I tried to hide in the laundry basket but I was discovered and badgered into doing a selfie. So here you go...

Van Gogh Irises
Van Gogh spent time in Japan and the art he did there is amazing. It is actually some of my favorite of his works as there were a lot of floral pieces.
But the irises were my favorite hands down. They covered an entire room with his work. There was one with butterflies that was awesome. I felt as if I was surrounded by them.
You really felt as if you were inside the canvas.
Yes, it was even on the floor.
I really wish I had taken an art history class when I was in college.
The movement and colors were brilliant.
At the end you had a chance to color your own masterpiece and hang it on the wall.
Mine is hanging up there somewhere. ~Sandra, reporting for ATCAD

More Van Gogh - April 2023
While Starry Night is probably his most well know work, my favorites were the irises and sunflowers.
This was amazing too. This is Van Gogh's room and it looked as if you could actually step inside it and take a nap on the bed. ~Sandra, reporting for ATCAD

Mewsings on Monday -What a Difference a Year Makes
What a difference a year makes. Last April my Dad was living his best life. Planting trees, clearing the property line of their new place so he could fence it in, going out to eat and just generally enjoying his new life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Now he is bed ridden.
Last April I went with my cousin Sharon to see the Van Gogh exhibit in New Orleans. It was wonderful. We popped into the lobby of this cute boutique hotel that was all art deco to check it out.
I can't say enough about the exhibit it was absolutely amazing.
And as you can tell we had a good time.
This was the most amazing thing they projected his artwork on the the bust of Van Gogh.
The pictures do not do it justice. ~Sandra, reporting for ATCAD
