I Spent the Sunday afternoon at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, where I enjoyed pieces by artists including Cezanne, Degas, & one of my favorites, Van Gogh. His painting, Mulberry Tree was beyond beautiful in person, & definitly stood out. The paint strokes & vivid colors portray Van Gogh's immense emotions and his passion for nature. Doors behind the museum lead to a whimsical garden, lily pond, walking area, cafe, & everything necessary for an ideal day outdoors.
"There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke."
"As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed."
"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
"Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it."
-Vincent Van Gogh
