I have no excuses - but here is yet another Yellow House compilation - This one took a lot of thought and creative solutions _ No AI Involved - Just the old microsoft 'Paint' programme. In this we can see first into the house via the windows yes but then alongside a version with a hinged frontage opened by the change of position of one of Vincent's figures from this his great masterpiece. It therefor is two views of the yellow House both presented much like two 'Dolls Houses! But also putting forward as Vincent himself may have intended - A shakespearean Stage set a nod ready for its reality as the 'Studio of the South'.

Vincent writing from the Yellow House after moving in - "I’m going to paint my own bed, there’ll be 3 subjects. Perhaps a naked woman, I haven’t decided, perhaps a cradle with a child; I don’t know, but I’ll take my time - Vincent". - Thus wrote Vincent to his brother Theo from Arles. At the time Gauguin, along with other artists, was painting murals on doors and walls in an inn in Brittany. Here is an image of how Vincent's bed may have ended up if he had carried out his plan. This oval n**e was painted in Paris by Vincent and would have been an obvious choice for his bed. Was Vincent Joking? in any case it never happened but if it did this would maybe have have been the outcome. I think as he had a mature female house keeper it was probably a non starter. Truth and reality add to Vincent's Legacy.
