39adamstrand:dappledwithshadow: Vincent van GoghView of Arles with Irises in the Foreground1888 from Vincent’s letter to his brother Theo, 12 May 1888:“I am in better health now… . I have two new studies… . A meadow full of very yellow buttercups, a ditch with iris plants with green leaves and purple flowers, the town in the background, a few gray willows - a strip of blue sky.If they don’t mow the meadow I’d like to do this study again, for the subject was very beautiful, and I had some trouble finding the composition. A little town surrounded by fields completely blooming with yellow and purple flowers; you know, it is a beautiful Japanese dream.” -- source link
