You can clearly make out the buidling behind the yellow house in the painting - and the spot where the Yellow House used to be is now grass - and it's right next to a roundabout and a car park if you twizzle round in Streetview!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-53256194191287254202010-02-12T14:40:15.788+00:002010-02-12T14:40:15.788+00:00Very interesting post Katherine, as are all of you...Very interesting post Katherine, as are all of your posts...<br />I was looking at the street view....

I like the drawing better. The painting seems to lack (emphasis on 'seems' since I am looking at the image from many removes) the animating brushwork that his best paintings have. The drawing is vivid and immediate.Laura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-81742733818004990552010-02-12T11:28:52.784+00:002010-02-12T11:28:52.784+00:00Very interesting,

This makes sense of the interior paintings.<br /><br />I also think about how children would come to the window and harass Vincent for being an oddball. It reminds me of a scene from The Elephant Man.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-43715968776607436452010-02-11T15:34:09.755+00:002010-02-11T15:34:09.755+00:00Whoops - just hit the wrong button by mistake when...<i>Whoops - just hit the wrong button by mistake when moderating comments.

So much valuable content! The information here---literally "takes my breath away" --almost the same way a masterful painting does. Bravo! Thanks for this, and so many other great posts!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.com
