Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), The Garden of Saint Paul's Hospital, 1889, o/c, @29" x 24"

In Ciwt's opinion Vincent van Gogh is the equal of any master at capturing the ways human emotion and nature's presence can echo each other.  To Ciwt there is an enveloping, introspective melancholy to the crisp air, elegant baring limbs, muted light and red-gold colors of fall that she also feels in the man (perhaps van Gogh himself) walking alone in the large garden adjoining the asylum he had once again checked himself into.
