Am quite thankful for the colors, the talent, the detail that we all find in Vincent's works.

These memes are brilliant, especially the Earaser that one really made me smile after such a rotten week, thank you xxx
ReplyDeleteI am quite familiar with Van Gogh, and I adore those puns. Right up my alley! Starry Night is so classic that it's identfiable at a glance. Vincent was quite the character and, as is common for someone of his genius, he suffered greatly for it. We, on the other hand, are the beneficiaries.
ReplyDeleteTo boldly Gogh ... hahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteToo funny. On the more serious side, extraordinary artist, sad and troubled life, gone too soon. Recognized too late.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Vincent! Those are tooooo funny - LOL! I sure love Van Gogh art, absolutely amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteOne of our Mom's favorite painters. He truly was one of a kind. Cute comedy - In France they pronounce his last name as "Goff" rather than "Go". It was so weird hearing it that way :-).
ReplyDeleteThose were pretty darn cute, the eraser was pretty appropriate! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteThe earaser is funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure he would appreciate that
ReplyDeleteThe 'earaser' had me laughing. Good Heavens...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so many paintings! The earaser is too funny.
ReplyDeleteI like his paintings. One of my favorite episodes of Dr Who was the Van Gogh episode with the 11th doctor. (sigh-I know that makes me sound geeky!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this! Very cool.
