If you live in a reasonable proximity you may be interested in taking in the special van Gogh iris paintings exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario this summer. The display started June 11 and runs to September 16/99.

Dear Chris -
This is certainly the best time of year for a trip to Canada. For those of us who cannot make it, a review to the list would be most welcome. I'm told Van Gogh painted I. germanica, but how many times, and what variations are observable within the flowers he painted? Did he do anything else? Van Gogh's color records at the dawn of the hybridizing era may have value beyond their considerable artistic career.
It is not generally known that he really wanted to be a musician and this caused much of his mental anguish, because, unfortunately, he had a tin ear.
