Stunning. His amazing use of color, technique and choice of subjects makes him my favorite. I even named one of my dogs Vincent.

Thanks so much.

You’re most welcome. Was there a reason that you connected the pup to the painter? I’m trying to imagine what a dog would look like that I’d name Vincent - other than being strong like the name. His earlier ochre periods would be easier, but the later periods... A blue merle?

I usually named mine for TV show characters, like Ilya and Mr Waverly, and once for a baby werewolf in one of my movie scripts, Here Henry! I was looking for a call name that was soft on the ear in the days before I discovered that ALL my ancestors seemed to be named Henry. One of mother’s famous coincidences she adored finding.
