Eileen Hart's London Street; Rainy Day - 2008
Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street; Rainy Day - 1877
Carl, Chelle, Kylah, Bryan, Joanna and I had a blast at the Kimball last Friday night. I won first place in the Van Gogh Impressionist Photography Contest, and our prize was free admission, a private tour by the curator of the Impressionist Exhibit and dinner for six. Unfortunately Robin couldn't make it; he had an appointment that ran late. But we enjoyed it, and felt privileged to have a personal tour. The photograph that won was my impression of Van Gogh's still life of grapes, pears and lemons, but shown above is the photograph that I entered in the "other" contest sponsored by the same museum, this time I won second place! The resemblance to the original painting is amazing, and was not planned. I took this black and white photograph of my sister and her husband Ken while we were in London this past May.
