Mary Jander Thanks, Venks! Poor Van G. seems to have been the victim of many an urban legend. I think it's worth investigating the truth and untruth about his life.
Venks Thanks Mary for sharing this small yet beautiful anecdote. I am a big fan of good paintings and would love to spend hours and hours just admiring every stroke of brush that would have gone in making...

Mary Jander @DSM419: I hope too that you can get to Amsterdam soon and to the museum. It's so worth a trip -- many trips, even. @arv and @DSM419 you've inspired me to try and find a really good print myself...
Mary Jander @Nicole: If you're missing from work some Monday, I'll know why lol It's tough to really appreciate artwork without getting close to the work. The rules, I like to think, were made for folk who'd...

richheap Thanks Susan. I knew this had happened in the Boston bombing, but didn't know that other part of the story. I don't want to speculate whether the accusations had an impact but it does show that we...

richheap I'm sceptical about crowdsourced evidence. I don't mind if relevant photos or videos go to the police, even though it's an awful lot of information for them to trawl through. But it is a problem...
