Van Gogh's Fighter Plane

A L O H A !


We're the first ones at the pool!




" For what human ill 
does not dawn
seem to be
an alleviation?  "

Thornton Wilder








 Sky is perfect - What is that dark spot?


" Sadness flies 
on the wings of the morning . . .
comes the light.  "

Jean Giraudoux







 Van Gogh
 ' Fighter Aircraft '
AKA: The 'dark spot' from the photo above this one.


" I think an artist has always
to be out of step with his time. "


Orson Welles

  8. It would be a very strange painting by Van Gogh indeed. The Orson Wells quote is spot on :-).

  13. Isn't it amazing what we can do with computers these days, amazing that you could crop that tiny piece of your photo so we could actually see what the black dot was, AND turn it into an artwork at the same time haha! Brilliant Cloudia! Enjoy your Sunday.

  14. Ah patooey, back on the mainland from my visit to the Islands, but I've been breathing very nicely, thank you, with your guidance and blog, and the scenery of Comfort Isles. The pilot would love your enlarged Van Gogh version of his flight. Aloha, DrumMajor
