I visited the Van Gogh Village museum in Nuenen; he lived there with his parents before he went to France. He painted the "aardappeleters" (potato eaters) here, based on his visits to the farmers and workers in the region. It was a very poor region in those days. Anyway, even though it was cold I managed to make two quick sketches (each about 15 minutes) of buildings that van Gogh had sketched and painted: the Pastorie (the house of his parents) and the Collse watermill. Each A5.
