Visual Research #3

"Blossoming Almond Tree"
Vincent Van Gogh

So for my visual research this week I choose "Blossoming Almond Tree" by Van Gogh because my friend recently bought a vinyl laptop cover for her new Macbook that was of this painting. I thought it was so beautiful that I looked online for it so I could figure out what its name was. It was a Van Gogh painting I did not previously know, and I think it has become my new favorite of his. (Sorry "Starry Night"...) I really like this piece because of the lines that the branches create, they are so elegant yet random seeming- they seem clean and messy at the same time and I think that is really beautiful. I also love the colors, it is a great shade of blue in the background, if I had a poster of this it would look FANTASTIC in my room.
