Vincent at the Musee Rodin Paris

I was most surprised last year to find three Vincent's at the Musee Rodin in Paris. I was also very jet lagged when I saw them. The most famous one is of course the painting of Pere Tanguy. So here I was, having arrived in Paris that day after a 23 hour flight from Sydney. I was too excited to sleep so decided to walk around the city to burn off some excess energy. I ended up at the Musee Rodin, one of my favourite places in Paris. It was my third visit to this remarkable place which changes every time I see it. And I saw my first wild creature in Europe. A rabbit scurrying in Rodin's garden.  I must admit I was feeling a lot like Alice that day. As I wandered through the great sculptor's home I turned a corner. And there, just hanging around, was Vincent. Pere Tanguy- Wow. what a find! And another Vincent! Wow What an amazing thing. And yet another... Suddenly, I'm in a room, alone, surrounded by Vincents...It was mind blowing.
