I love this self portrait...
...and the artist's intense (and, to me, slightly troubled) gaze...

Here are colourways that compliment...
...and a powerful image of a woman...
...attending to a quotidian task.

I liked that many of the Van Gogh's on display...
...weren't the ones which you regularly see reproduced.
Notice the little fish or 'Alvin the chipmunk'? :) face in the leftmost image?
The Keith Haring graffiti reminds me of the 'Judgement of Solomon'.

Of course, I couldn't resist sharing this detail of a woman with her sheep! :)
The Kröller-Müller Museum is truly an amazing place...
...located, as it is, within a national park!
To get there, you pay admission at the park gate...
...then grab a free white 'commuter' bicycle...
...and pedal two kilometers to the museum entrance.
Because the day of my visit was a chilly, rainy one...
...and because I hadn't ridden a bicycle in over 25 years...
...(yes, my Dutch girlfriends found this to be incredible!)...
...I didn't linger among the outdoor sculpture gardens...
...but just made a beeline for the museum door! :)
Next time: more beautiful pieces from their collection...
...this time, mostly sculpture.

Thank you! I've never seen a VanGogh, to the best of my knowledge. But now I have seen at least a photo of a few.
Beautiful paintings. Among all I love the "Starry Night". Love the bright yellow and blue.
BTW I tried to comment the lovely & cute baby cocoon on your last post but could not fine the "comment link box".
Well Heather, you're doing quite the museum-tour here ;-))
(yes, wish I'd known you were so near, would have been fun to meet for coffee .... Yes, Jane is a very dear felting/knitting friend)
Piękne prace.
Sandie--You've been missing out! :)
Terriea--I'm not sure what happened with the comment last time. Hopefully it's fixed now! :)
Els--I love museums. I try to get to as many as I can...esp. modern art ones!
Karolina-Yes, they have an amazing collection!
I agree, some of the less famous Van Gogh paintings are much more appealing than the ones we've got so used to!
Rachel--Exactly!! :)
