Virtual Paintout (November 2011) Arnes, France

Pharmacie Van Gogh

8" x 10" Oil on Canvas Board

This is the Virtual Paintout subject for November 2011. This month we traveled to Arles, France and the surrounding region. This area interests many artists due to the period of time Vincent van Gogh lived there. He produced some of his most iconic paintings while living in the “Yellow House”, with such subjects as wheat fields, sunflowers, bridges, people, buildings, streets, etc. The painting above is of the historic “Pharmacie Van Gogh”. I found the perspective of looking directly into the “V” shaped intersection very intriguing. Time is early morning and everyone is starting out on a new, bright sunny day. Hope you enjoy it too!
