Oh, Van Gogh!

So I was not expecting to find Van Gogh's paintings in front of me went I went to Chicago. I know I should have looked up the artists being exhibited but I wanted to be surprised. And I did. I think I ran to the painting once I saw it. Maybe even yelled Van Gogh and then ran. I did not push anyone though. I do agree that seeing this painting in a book does not make justice to the painting. It is much better! Even my photograph those not cut it. I am happy I was in front of it and could actually feel one on one with Van Gogh.
