    van Gogh's use of color always fascinated me. And ten years is a testament to the power of small mail, and your organization!

      When I got Micu's postcard, I remembered Van Gogh's work. Not difficult to find it in the blog; sometimes, the blog works as an archive.

      (Although I thought Heleen had sent it just two years ago!)

    Time does fly, doesn't it?! I almost posted a Van Gogh that I'd received 13 years ago - I was shocked. Anyway, I'm glad you chose these sowers.

      I hadn't seen it until I got the postcard. I like it, too.

    I love paintings of sowers (and gleaners).
