Hold it
I wanted to blog about the symbolic use of colour in Egyptian wall paintings but I am too sleepy having battered my brain in a 5 hour "meeting" that ended at 8.
errrrr. Hi. Been off the blogging circuit for a while for one reason and another but I'm back now, will be reading your back catalogue over the weekend!
Leilouta - every one of those quotes are so definitely Vincent. I once heard that his "Sunflowers" was the most frequently reproduced painting in the world: postcards, umbrellas, prints, t-shirts, etc.
Matt - aha, you again is it? Well, have fun, I've blogged a lot of heavy stuff :)
Steli - strong like his strokes, his colours, his passion! Thank you for hanging on with me here! I will try to blog Egypt *right now* because although I am sleepy, I don't have to work tomorrow :)

Oh, I know the feeling...kinda like me several days ago.
Hope you're having sweet dreams, doll!
I often think the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. Vincent Van Gogh
Mers - I wil try to blog tonight. At the moment lunch break is nearly over...
Leilouta - And he certainly knew how to capture that thought on canvas!
Yes, he did. He is one of my favorite painters.
I know all his quotes :)
I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.'
Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.
In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.
How wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun.
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Have you seen that portrait Gaugin did of me painting sunflowers? it was really I, but it's I gone mad.
bwaahahahahaahahhahahahahahah! I'm back!
