Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Art


Most people know that Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime. Fewer people know, which painting that was. 
The Red Vineyard was painted November 4, 1888. Van Gogh painted it from imagination at his famous yellow house residence. It was purchased at the 1890 “Les XX” exhibition in Brussels by Anna Boch. She paid 400 Francs ($1600 in today’s money).
