I bet you saw some beautiful art in there Scott. Museums are something I really enjoy. Do you recall one of the famous paintings you saw?

Why yes I do Velvet, and to name one, Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" (one of them anyway)

Apparently, he painted many versions of "Sunflowers," because I saw one at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

Scott, you should plan a trip to Denver next October. The Denver Art Museum will be featuring a blockbuster exhibit of Van Gogh's paintings and sketches. They are borrowing works from 40 different art museums, including the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. You can stay at my house - I have an extra room.

You're kidding!!!! I love Van Gogh. I wonder how DAM snagged that!? I was hoping to come up over the summer, but I may have to reconsider.

Van Gogh painted I think 5 or 6 version of Sunflowers. I went to the Van Gogh Museum also.

I went to a Van Gogh/Gauguin exhibit in Chicago about 10-11 years ago and they had two of his Sunflower paintings side by side, which is very rare to see.

I was just in Dallas today at their art museum...nice place.
