Van Gogh

 This sketch by Van Gogh was executed in 1878.  Below is a quote in a letter that Van Gogh wrote to his brother, Theo, regarding this location.  When you click on the link below, click on the quote and then you can read the entire letter.  It's quite beautiful.

I want to focus on how Van Gogh felt about this scene, looking at this cafe gave him a familiar feeling like homesickness and awakened something in him.  I encourage you to find what awakens you, what gives you those feelings deep in the core of your very being that stirs you inside.  These are the things you should draw and paint.  The deeper you feel about what you paint, the more your paintings will emanate emotion, capturing your viewers attention. - Jill Saur    www.JillSaurFineArt.com
There are also places here – as there are everywhere, for that matter, thank God – where one feels at home more than elsewhere, where one gets a remarkable, familiar feeling like homesickness, which has something bitterly melancholy about it but which nevertheless strengthens and awakens the spirit in us and gives us new strength and appetite for work and stimulates us, we know not how or why. - Van Goghhttps://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/letters/collection/d0293V1970
