Art & Travel: Van Gogh Immersion! Great experience! Immersing in the best of Van Gogh as one artwork morphs seamlessly into another, it is accompanied by music to make it even better. My blog shares lots of photos and reasons why this is a Must See with a trip to NE Mpls – or somewhere near you!

Autumn Harvest in Art (Millet & Van Gogh)
Autumn equates harvest. Millet, with peasant origins, identified with the hard work of the country poor. Van Gogh paraphrased it in his work. These oil paintings depict 3 peasant women tediously gleaning a field of stray stalks of wheat left over after the harvest. Both are at the Musee d’Orsay, Paris.
Social Distancing in Art: Paris style! (Seurat)
Social Distancing: Paris style! As we Minnesotans enjoy our 10,000+ lakes and rivers during the summer, trying to social distance, this painting came to mind! These Parisians, in little clusters on the River Seine on a “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” are using perfect social distancing, although I doubt that is what the artist intended!
Irises: Home & Abroad, in Art & Life (Van Gogh)
One stop on our cancelled trip was the southern coast of France. I will miss seeing their irises, but will enjoy the irises in own garden on my Minnesota Stay-cation, which I typically miss during our traditional May travels!
