Painting of the Day - Mulberry Tree


I love art but admit to a very limited knowledge - like this painting. I spotted it as a van Gogh as soon as I saw it (well I guessed it was anyway) but I had never seen it before! Most artists have a repertoire of 'favorites' that are familiar to most of us - think Monet's garden series, or Renoir's painting of the girl at the bar - but this one had slipped by me completely. I absolutely love it! The vibrancy is what got me in first, and then van Gogh's incredible brushwork and then ... I am sure there are lots of technical responses that should be made but suffice to say that, well, I am just in love with it!

Love is love. Art touches the heart and when it does--that's all that matters.
