I took the opportunity to visit the "Becoming Van Gogh" exhibit at the Denver Art Museum this week. It was incredible.  The exhibit, as one would expect from the title, featured his work in a time line progression from black and white drawings and sketches to his mastery of color and brush stroke.  Truly, any reproduction in print or in books, does not do his art justice.  The colors - so alive! The texture - so rich! The strokes - so passionate!  I am still relishing the joy of the visit 2 days later.
