“It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning"_Vincent Van Gogh. I read the painting symbolizes Van Goghs difficult passage through life, your Monoku expresses just that. A sad, beautiful thing, Kim.

Wow its good Kim, I once got carried away Doing a painting episode all I can say is it Was a most abstract result with colour everywhere...on the walls and floor as well The others there were sort of astonished. I remember them saying i could be a new Vincent van goug- gan or something like that I have my suspicions they were ribbing me Not that i could prove it though lol)))

Virtue is hard-won, much like gold... Interesting monoku, Kim.
