Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦<p>"Olive Trees," Vincent Van Gogh, 1889.</p><p>Y'all know Van Gogh.</p><p>This is one of a series of 15 paintings he did of olive trees near Saint-Remy, where he was being treated in an asylum there. </p><p>Painted in June, this is olive trees in full summer bloom, leaves out and the flowers dotting the meadow. The grass seems to be flowing, as if mowed that way or just in that pattern. He used small, quick strokes to depict the leaves and the light filtering through them. It's an image redolent of lazy sunny summer days.</p><p>From the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PostImpressionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostImpressionism</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/VincentVanGogh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VincentVanGogh</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OliveTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OliveTrees</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Summer</span></a></p>
