Went to the Van Gogh exhibition at the Royal Academy on Friday with my good friends Karen, Anthony and my brother Dan. I really enjoyed the exhibition, it documented the great struggle that Van Gogh went through to develop his talent. It proved too much and he rather sadly took his own life, but he left behind a wonderful legacy in his collection of artwork.
The painting Flowering Garden with Path was a highlight of the show for me. Such a fantastic use of the contrasting colours - red, green, blue, orange, yellow and violet really animate the painting of a Provencal garden. Definitely a colour combination to try in my next flower commission - just to try and capture the essence of the artwork would be amazing.
We ended this great day with what else but afternoon tea including an indulgent glass of champagne - truly scrumptious!
