My trip down an Iris Field

I have always had an admiration for Van Gogh and his fabulous work...from his Self potraits to his Sunflower collection....
But I only realised the impact of his paintings when I saw his original 'Irises' at the Getty Centre in LA...the use of colour and the energetic strokes add such depth to the painting..it is as if you are actually in a field of irises....digital photos or prints simply donot do justice to his work...the layers of thick paint giving a 3D effect is just missing...
If you guys do get a chance to view any of his originals..please dont miss out on the opportunity!!
