He is not a Matisse or a Van Gogh. And his mythological subject matter, no matter how sensual its treatment may seem, can look somewhat remote from us.

However, it wasn't submitted by a descendant of Van Gogh, it was painted by a bear.

The Kunsthalle will show Caillebotte’s Impressionist paintings,with every conceivable connection to water, in conjunction with models for boats and the artist’s design drawings. On exhibition through 5 October, 2008.

First on the list was a bottle of Van Gogh Double Espresso vodka. We had just had a couple of Espresso Martinis with dinner, consisting of nothing more complicated than Van Gogh Double Espresso vodka shaken over ice and poured into a Martini glass. SWMBO and I both liked the drink enough to want to be able to make it at home. I may try doctoring it up with a squirt of half-and-half...maybe a sidecar of Kahlua...a little chocolate vodka... Hey, it’s fun to experiment! While I was in the Van Gogh section, I grabbed a bottle of their pomegranate vodka. Last year I had been gifted with same by the lovely Wiseass Jooette prior to the Hammerin’ in Helen, and we finally killed the bottle last weekend in an orgy of Pomegranate Pile Drivers . So I needed to replenish my inventory. Van Gogh has a fine array of other flavored vodkas - eighteen in all, including a regular unflavored version. So far, the ones I’ve tried have been excellent. I may have to do some more research! But two bottles on a shelf near the cash register caught my eye...and I had to buy ’em: Coney Island Lager and Rejewvenator Ale. Two fine products of the Schmaltz Brewing Company ! Schmaltz sounds jokey, but their beer is no joke at all. Their Messiah Bold (“The Beer You’ve Been Waiting For!”) is a fine amber ale, and their heavyweight craft brews are surprisingly good. Get a load of this label... Coney Island Lager One look at that face - a twisted, malevolent version of the one that used to adorn George C. Tilyou’s Steeplechase Park - and I knew that I had a beer that Erica herownself could appreciate. L’chaim, baby!

The beauty of living away from city lights is the way the night sky lights up in the dark ... some nights more so than others. Tonight the stars are exceptionally bright. That 1971 Don McLean song keeps going through my head ... "Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey, look out on a summer’s day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul ... Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils, catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land. Now I understand what you tried to say to me, how you suffered for you sanity, how you tried to set them free ... they would not listen, they did not know how; perhaps they’ll listen now." McLean reportedly wrote the song about artist Vincent Van Gogh after reading his biography ... the actual title of the song is "Vincent (Starry Starry Night)." It's late summer in the Shenandoah Valley....
