“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
– Vincent van Gogh
Fruit Stand – 4″ x 8″ Watercolor & Sharpie
I did this little painting for the WDE over at WetCanvas. Lisilk
provided the photos to paint from last weekend. I was able to squeeze
this one in before we went to Oklahoma City to spend some time with my
mother-in-law. It was a lot of fun!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. For the last seven years, we’ve
been having dinner with our friends, Jerry & Teresa. There is
usually 30-40 people there and they serve dinner off the truck rack in
Jerry’s shop. Little bit of hillbilly heaven! I hope you all had a
wonderful Thanksgiving!
About Vincent van Gogh
The Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh worked as an
artist for only ten years, but he had a profound and lasting effect on
the art world. He was born in 1853 in Zundert. He briefly became a
minister but was dismissed for caring too much about his impoverished
parishioners. His brother, Theo, was a close friend and supporter. He
only sold one painting during his lifetime. He is known for his heavy
brushstrokes and strong colors. He died in 1890 of suicide.
