@ossobucotemp,
ndrew Wyeth had done several Hmages to van Gogh by doing his own studies of the artists boots.
This one is called "Sea Boots" and in Wyeths "Raison" he gives credit to van Gogh for oing the studies of boots and that fascinted Wyeth to do a whole bunch. I could only find 2 others.(I actually like the feeling of van Gogh's than wyeths)

@farmerman,
When we lived in Illinois, I remember our visit to the Wyeth Museum. Forgot all about it until your post. I just remember it was in a nice location by the river.

@edgarblythe,
I still remember a friend of ours snapping at my mispronunciation of Millet. I was very embarrassed at the time, but I've still not managed to learn french.

@farmerman,
I like the boots, but the rest of the picture seems out of place, if well done.

@ossobucotemp,
I once tried to learn French by home study course. When my brother told me, after a few weeks of repeating words after the record, that I did not sound remotely like that voice, I quit trying.

@edgarblythe,
We go to Tous Les Jours bakery almost every day for coffee and pastries. It's pronounced like "tu le jo." It means every day.

This is the only Van Gogh which still has the original frame.

@edgarblythe,
I have seen most of these. I don't remember which museum, because I have been to several Van Gogh exhibits and many art galleries including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Washington DC, London, Madrid, Paris, Japan, Toronto, and Mexico City.

@edgarblythe,
I saw the original of that one! Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam or National Gallery in London?

@cicerone imposter,
It's in the Van Gogh Museum at Amsterdam.

The Yellow House (Dutch: Het gele huis), alternatively named The Street (Dutch: De straat),[1][2] is an 1888 oil painting by the 19th-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.
This title refers to the right wing of the building, 2, place Lamartine, Arles, France, the house where, on May 1, 1888, Vincent van Gogh rented four rooms, two large ones on the ground floor to serve as atelier and kitchen, and, on the first floor, two smaller ones facing place Lamartine. The window on the first floor near the corner with both shutters open is that of Van Gogh's guest room, where Paul Gauguin lived for nine weeks from late October 1888. Behind the next window, with one shutter closed, is Van Gogh's bedroom. The two small rooms at the rear were rented by Van Gogh at a later time.
The left wing housed a grocery (French: Comestibles, inscribed on the signboard over the marque).
The building suffered various rebuilding, before it was severely damaged in a bombing raid by the Allies on June 25, 1944,[3] and was later demolished.
Van Gogh indicated that the restaurant, where he used to have his meals, was in the building painted pink close to the left edge of the painting (28, Place Lamartine). It was run by Widow Venissac, who was also Van Gogh's landlady, and who owned several of the other buildings depicted.
To the right side of the Yellow House, the Avenue Montmajour runs down to the two railway bridges.[4] The first line, with a train just passing, served the local connection to Lunel, which is on the opposite (that is, right) bank of river Rhône. The other line was owned by the P.-L.-M. Railway Company (Paris Lyon Méditerranée)[5]
In the foreground to the left, there is an indication of the corner of the pedestrian walk, which surrounded one of the public gardens on Place Lamartine. The ditch running up Avenue Montmajour from the left towards the bridges served the gas pipe, which allowed Van Gogh a little later to have gas light installed in his atelier.[6]

@edgarblythe,
Thanks edgar. I've seen so many original masters in my lifetime, it's impossible to remember where I saw them.
Although I have visited France several times, I never made it to Van Gogh's home. I'm not sure why, because he's been one of my favorite painters from early in my travel days.
My wife and I did make it down to the Los Angeles art museum when they held an exhibit of Van Gogh's paintings.

@cicerone imposter,
I blush to say I have no connection with the masters, other than through photos.

@edgarblythe,
thing about van Gogh is that he often did many versions of the same subject (like Monet except van Gogh had other reasons to make multiple works. SO, if you look up the map of van Gogh paintings in Texas, youll finf=d that Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have a bunch.

Im fortunate in that, less than 40 miles away, the University of Delaware has arguably the best museum restoration and conservation program in the US.Its A program run at the WInterthur castle (formerly a Du Pont estate). US Museums often have their works sent to WInterthur for any problem restorations or cleanings.
So, having some connections with Winterthur can often get a sneak look at a before or after .

We go back to Newtherlands periodically just to visit various art collections that are held in little known museums and galleries throughout Holland.
I always like the town of Delft where Vermeer was painting.
