Field with Flowers Near Arles



I chose field with flowers near Arles by Vincent Van Gogh because it was a beautiful piece of art and I have a lot to say about it. I think that that picture is about how life is a pleasure and you should always live life to the fullest. You are never going to get that beautiful exact moment ever again so not only live life to the fullest but savor the moment and appreciate it.
The piece of artwork is very calm and relaxing. The scene is beautiful filled with a lot of trees, grass and flowers. This is a time where you would savor the moment because it’s almost perfect. This time where the grass is perfectly green and there is no one outside and the flowers look beautiful is never going to happen again so savor that moment. I mean sure you might go back to the same place with the same people but it will never be the same.
This work connects to me because I love nature. Not only that but it reminds me of my memories upstate. Where there would be tons and tons of acres of fresh green grass and a patch of beautiful flowers right near the house. It got me away from the polluted city to a fresh new place where I could relax and enjoy myself. I think every one needs to get away from the city and head to somewhere like Van Gogh’s artwork.

  1. I agree with the beauty aspect of the painting. I also agree with the upstate treasuring moments, though last summer's days there brings out this picture. Van Gogh's work gives off those memories and as you said, Talyah, people should have there own Van Gogh place. :)
