My Favorite Painting

I fell in love with this Van Gogh painting the very first time I saw it. It was the first Van Gogh I had ever seen in person. Since then I've seen many more, but this one still holds the highest honor in my heart. Every time I go to see it I find something new to admire about it. The sheer amount of paint on it is staggering to me. I hope to own a print of it someday, but it has been tough to find one online at all, let alone one reasonably priced. I'm very sad that I won't be able to go see it whenever I want anymore, once I've moved to Portland. 




The roof of this building is my favorite detail of the entire painting. Amid so much vibrant, stacked, and mixed color it is smooth and monochromatic.
