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.
