Vincent In Another Life
.jpg)
In late September he walks from the field
stands by the side of the road
straw hat / red beard
scythe over his shoulder
In my rear view mirror
a woman in a blue house dress
stands next to him
brushing her hair from her face
See my post on these van Gogh tilt shift images here:
