Vincent van Gogh e-gallery
"I have a terrible lucidity at moments when nature is so beautiful. I am not conscious of myself anymore, and the picture come to
me as if in a dream. It is no more easy to make a good picture than it is to find a diamond or a pearl. It means trouble, and you risk your
life for it. I cannot help it that my paintings do not sell. The time will come when people will see that they are worth more than the price of
the paint".....Van Gogh on Art
