Did you imagine that I would love this and look at it over and over again? The memories warm me up on a cold drizzly Chicago afternoon in November, and will do so forever I am sure. Thank you for such loveliness…

I love how you examine with a sharp eye those aspects of the café that are not authentic or “real” and then contrast them against those things that Vincent would have recognized today: color, light, and the night. I feel it’s safe to say that he might be unhappy with the blatant commercialization of his likeness, and I feel equally certain that he would have been delighted to encounter you seated at a table in his café.
