Then I Paint My Dreams

I dream of painting and
then I paint my dream.
...Vincent Van Gogh

I know that February is black&white photos with a touch of red on Valentine's Day. However, I don't do many black and white photos. I live in color.

I do like portraits in black and white because they look timeless. But, I rarely post people portraits.

I did like the way this photo turned out. It was from my visit to the Van Gogh experience that I never posted.
