Mrs SL took this one for me, on her own camera too, thinking I'd appreciate its rusty squareness. She's a good judge of character...
Vincent van Gogh - L'Arlesienne (Madame Ginoux). One of four versions 1890
Museum of Modern Art, Rome
While in the asylum at Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted another five portraits of Madame Ginoux, based on Gauguin's charcoal drawing of November 1888. Of these, one was intended for Gauguin, one for his brother Theo, one for himself and one for Madame Ginoux. The provenance of the version in the Kröller-Müller Museum is not known in detail, but the painting is known to have been previously owned by Albert Aurier, an early champion of Vincent's paintings.The version intended for Madame Ginoux was lost and has not been recovered. This is the version Vincent was delivering to Madame Ginoux in Arles when he suffered his relapse on February 22, 1890.In an unfinished letter to Gauguin that was never sent, Vincent remarked that working on her portrait cost him another month of illness.Gauguin's version was the one with a pink background, currently in the São Paulo Museum of Art. Gauguin was enthusiastic about the portrait, writing:"I’ve seen the canvas of Madame Ginoux. Very fine and very curious, I like it better than my drawing. Despite your ailing state you have never worked with so much balance while conserving the sensation and the interior warmth needed for a work of art, precisely in an era when art is a business regulated in advance by cold calculations."
In a letter to his sister Wil, dated 5 June 1890, Vincent set out his philosophy for doing portraits: "I should like to do portraits which will appear as revelations to people in a hundred years' time. In other words I am not trying to achieve this by photographic likeness but by rendering our impassioned expressions, by using our modern knowledge and appreciation of colour as a means of rendering and exalting character ... The portrait of the Arlésienne has a colourless and matt flesh tone, the eyes are calm and very simple, the clothing is black, the background pink, and she is leaning on a green table with green books. But in the copy that Theo has, the clothing is pink, the background yellowy-white, and the front of the open bodice is muslin in a white that merges into green. Among all these light colours, only the hair, the eyelashes and the eyes form black patches."
me and taylor wandered into an abandoned car lot today. i forced her to get inside the van because i thought it would make a good picture. when she finally got it, she got stung by a bee. therefore ending the trip.
Lots of graffiti on this garbage filled old van abandoned near some truck lost by JFK airport. Judging by the stuff left around here, this might be a dodgy area at night.
Crammed in along a promenade and with lots of people around, this was the best shot I could get. As is the custom with these vans, the entire side opens up for selling goods. This one was quite long and was a 6-wheeler.
A burned out (Transit ?) van on the south bank of the River Thames, beginning to rust away. A safe, with a rectangular hole in it, was nearby.

The Vario was the predecessor to the Mercedes Sprinter range. It was launched in 1996 after the T2 model, and, in its large capacity models over 3.5 tonnes, remained in production alongside the Sprinter until 2013. The Vario was also popular as a chassis for small buses and for emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire tenders.
These Victorian Railways U louvre vans were originally built with narrow doors, but at a later stage they were fitted with wide doors and blanking was added to the bottom to avoid forklift damage.
This is a modification of an earlier version. The key differences are:
- This version is dark red rather than reddish brown.
- I tried to break up the "louvriness" by adding hand rails on the ends and by blanking the bottom of the doors (thanks for the suggestion gambort)
- I changed the wheel brake and added the brake tie rod (thanks for the tips Brickhead).
The stickers aren't great...the colour match is ok, but the visibility of the edges is annoying.

'The buildings were designed by architect Leendert van der Vlugt from the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt office in cooperation with civil engineer J.G. Wiebenga, at that time a specialist for constructions in reinforced concrete, and built between 1925 and 1931.' (from Wikipedia)

I went on day trip with my husband for a job interview. On the drive back home we got out of the car and I took a few shots of Bear.

Funny-looking, reddish André van Duin (1947) is a famous comedian and actor in the Dutch-speaking countries. He is also a singer, writer and creator of television programs, and he starred in three Dutch film comedies.
André van Duin was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 1947. His birthname was Adrianus Marinus Kloot. He legally changed Kloot to Kyvon in 1966, a few years after taking the pseudonym André van Duin. As a kid he developed the talent of amusing people, imitating celebrities and singing. At the age of 15 he sent letters to several TV networks, requesting an audition. In 1964 he was discovered when he won the TV talent contest show Nieuwe Oogst (New Harvest), and started appearing as a guest in a few shows like that of singing father and daughter Willy and Willeke Alberti. In 1965 he got the opportunity to do a television programme of his own, Een avondje TV met André/A TV evening with André. From 1967 onwards, he took apprenticeship at comedians Willy Walden and Piet Muyselaar's Snip & Snap theatre shows. In the 1970s André van Duin set up his own Revue with Frans van Dusschoten as the straight man and Corrie van Gorp as the leading lady. These shows were televised for the TROS and in 1975 Van Duin won an award for Dag dag heerlijke lach/Hello hello delicious laugh (1974-1975). During this decade Van Duin recorded several hit songs, such as Het bananenlied (1972), a parody of the Banana Boat Song). In 1972, André van Duin began the radio program Dik Voormekaar Show. First with broadcasting company Radio Noordzee Internationaal, later with the NCRV and the TROS. He involved his then technician, Ferry de Groot, in the show, becoming the character Meneer de Groot (Mister de Groot). The show continued to air on radio and TV as recently as 2009. André van Duin debuted as an actor playing an army recruit in the TV series Het meisje met de blauwe hoed/The Girl With The Blue Hat (Dick van 't Sant, 1972), featuring Jenny Arean. It was a TV version of the film musical Het meisje met den blauwe hoed/The Girl With The Blue Hat (Rudolf Meinert, 1934), with Truus van Aalten and with Lou Bandy in the Van Duin part. In 1976, Van Duin had a massive hit with the song Willempie. Parents of mentally challenged children considered his performance offensive though. Van Duin escaped legal actions by apologising on television. Later that year, Van Duin released And're Andre (The Other Andre), an album stripped of wackiness that became the first of five volumes.
André van Duin made his film debut with Pretfilm/Fun Film (Robert Kaesen, 1976) in which he played various characters with his croonies from his stage and TV comedies, Frank van Dusschoten and Corrie van Gorp. In 1981 he starred with the same team in another comedy, Ik Ben Joep Meloen/I am Joep Melon (Guus Verstraete, 1981), which was another reasonable success. In 1982 followed De Boezemvriend/The Bosom Buddy (Dimitri Frenkel Frank, 1982), partly an adaptation of the Danny Kaye film The Inspector General. Van Duin portrayed charlatan dentist Fred van der Zee who is mistaken for Napoleon's delegate. De Boezemvriend was considered a failure and Van Duin hasn't returned to the big screen since. Cartoonist Toon van Driel created André's own comic book series in 1987. Very popular was the WWF-promoting TV series Animal Crackers (1988). Van Duin and his new stable-mate Ron Brandsteder were team-captains in the TV show uWie ben ik?/Who am I? (1989), hosted by Caroline Tensen. Between 1993 and 1999 Van Duin made television shows for RTL. In 2007 the André's Nieuwe Revue-tour was launched; Belgium was visited in November 2008 for five shows in Antwerp. In 2009 he made a new series of Dik Voormekaar Shows. In 2010, Van Duin released the cd Dubbel, made up of both serious and wacky songs. During his career, he had 41 singles in the Dutch Top 40, 22 of those reached the Top 10 of which 3 singles became number one. André van Duin was in a relationship with Wim van der Pluym from 1974 until 1995, when Van der Pluym died. Van Duin married Martin Elferink in 2006. In 2013, he returned to TV as Petrus in the hit series 't Schaep met de 5 pooten/The Sheep with five legs. On stage, he impressed with his role in The Sunshine Boys (2015).
