Who doesn’t reap a religious experience viewing a van Gogh? Step closer, absorb those forceful strokes – spiritually drawn, painted prayers; regenerate your weary soul, stained in social media and materialism. Vincent’s Wheat Fields with Reaper, Auvers is here for the harvest; repent your detached life at this art sanctuary, give yourself a spiritual gift – anointed with oil: bold blues, greens and ochres, cycle of life inspired: Receive a communion with van Gogh’s nature, each visit, deepen your beliefs, “Reap what you sow.” Amen.
