You ask what makes a van Gogh? Well,... I'll tell you exactly,... straight forwards and straight up front. In order to make a van Gogh, first you must be gassed up, I'm guessing like burping fumes from the liquid called the Green Fairy. This will work just like it does with the rails that run down the quarter mile.
This is called super fast speed my friends, Just as Vincent was known to paint,.... sometimes, or should I say most times, five to eight large canvases a day, just like he was known to tell his own art dealing brother in the letters written to him by Vincent.
In some of his known meticulous works of supposed art and of all the ones you can see the time that it would have taken the artist in the completing of them, of all the dried and overlaid build-up of paint, you just might want to come to the rightful conclusion that you are just looking at a copied piece of his work done in his supposed style by a copyist that forgot to get gassed up.
Have you seen the documentary "Vincent" about Vincent van Gogh?

You are very funny and entertaining! I've seen "The Pond" and I was amazed at the size of it! "Whoa!" I said to myself, "it is the pond!" It is hard to imagine anyone could paint that fast. He was "gassed" up alright!

Thank you,... for I try to be. My life seems to surrounds these two artists, so as you might be able to tell,... that all that I have pretty much to look forward too.

Why only two? I'm stuck on Duchamp and Max Ernxt myself! They keep me busy, plus my drawings. Once in a while I get out and look at Monet, Rodin, Picasso, Matisse, and others just to give my brain a rest.

Marguerite,... you are so sweet! You are right, our brains needs to be rested, and sometimes some get arrested, for what has been suggested subconsciously by a few of these artist we like so well. There are so many that I like, I basically just stick mainly to talking about these two who the rest seems to emulate and have picked up a few of their traits from their studies. Besides the ones you have mentioned, I also like Gauguin, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Utrillo, and a few of the more modern realists, Henry, Hopper, Homer, and we cannot forget a few of the other artists. Say like Motherwell, Klee, Marc, Munch, Dali,.... hell there is a whole you know what-tee full of them. I like 'em all.

You are an encyclopedia, and here I thought all you knew was Monet and van Gogh!
