Might one of them be Starry Night? :) The only print I have is of that painting, laminated as a bookmark. Sadly, I have never seen this painting in reality. Only the one that resides in the Finnish National Gallery: Auvers-sur-Oise. Seeing it was an earth-shattering heartbreaking moment for me!
I confess he's one of my great passions. Wish I could've met him. Read so many books about his chaotic life.
The latest acquisition I have about him is a gourmet book called Van Gogh's Table, a collection of the traditional recipes that were served to him in a hostel where he spent the remainder of his life in Auvers.
