Van Gogh, Sun and Breeze

We need more light and heat, especially with another impending snowstorm. These are vibrant outdoors paintings of his (along with one bright indoor dining room) with which I am not familiar.  He's amazing.  He's made it possible for us to sense the textures of the surrounding countryside, the warmth of the sun, the movement of the air, and the feel of the day.
