Theo?? Vincent van Gogh (Dutch?? 18531890) once wrote?? I lose absolutely nothing by staying where I am and being content to watch things pass?? as a spider waits in its web for the flies. Van Goghs painting in his last few years?? a notoriously conflicted period punctuated by hospital stays and spent mostly in the south of France?? reflects this ability for observation. And whether the subject was a vase of flowers?? a field of billowing grasses?? or peach trees in peak bloom?? his paintings consistently display their trademark vibrancy. Each month of this calendar pairs a Van Gogh painting with a selection from his letters.</br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076497291X
