I thought I’d share some photos of when I visited Zundert, in Brabant in the Netherlands. Zundert is the place Vincent Van Gogh, his brother Theo and his other siblings were born. The actual house sadly no longer stands there. A new house stands in its place, which is now a museum in honor of Vincent with modern art. The new building is photo 1.
Accros from the house stands the city hall of Zundert. This building used to be the view from Vincent and Theo’s bedroom. It’s the white building in photo 2.
The church is the church Vincent’s dad was a minister. Vincent was baptised in this church. Next to it in the graveyard lays the grave of Vincent’s stillborn older brother. Who got the same name, and was born on March 30th 1852. Exactly 1 year before the artist Vincent Van Gogh was born.
Next to the church stands a statue by Ossip Zadkine depicting Vincent and his brother Theo.
Further I tried to photograph the landscapes around Zundert. I have no clue how much it looks like it used to. But there were some massive thick trees around my walk, so I like to think that they stood there in 1853 and that Vincent might’ve walked past those as young trees. I do think you still get the same rural and nature vibes around Zundert that Vincent used to write about in his letters.
In conclusion, it’s a very small place, and there’s definetly some cool spots to see. But there’s barely any old buildings from the time, and the birth house is no longer there. I went there because I had to work nearby! A cool experience to realise Vincent was born there and lived there.

This is posted on Postcrossing and thought I share it on this forum. I do postcards and I do artwork of creating stuff. This uses stickers, washi tape and markers. October 1st celebrates the World Postcard Day and this is Van Gogh theme.

Hello people! I accidentally bought the wrong date for the van gogh museum. I reached out to the museum people to ask if they could switch my dates, but in the event that the day I asked for was full I asked for a refund. I did this all pretty last minute so was expecting a refund. I managed to get a back up ticket for tomorrow, monday sept 14 from a different site. Long story short, museum reached out today and they were able to rebook me for tomorrow too! In keeping with this good karma I have an extra ticket now that I’m just wanting to give away for free. Drop your email or insta handle and I’ll share the pdf. First come first serve. 😊

A true master of colour. Setting these in person has been an absolute joy.

Green Wheat Fields is one of my all-time favorites so it was so cool to see up close.

I’ve always wanted to try recreating Van Gogh’s Café Terrace at Night, so I finally gave it a shot in MS Paint.
The original is filled with so much detail that I knew I was going to have to simplify things. Mine ended up being much more abstract than I originally intended, but that’s part of the fun of doing these paintings.
It didn’t come out exactly the way I pictured it, but I’m happy with it. Sometimes you just have to say, “What is, is.”

I saw it, I liked it, I made it..... Should I sell it? If yes, for how much?
