A Van Gogh Quote

I an going to set myself to work from memory often, and the canvases from memory are always less awkward, and have a more artistic look than studies from nature. especially when one works in mistral weather. Weare leaving wind an rain here, and I am very glad not to be alone. i work from memory on bad days and that would not do if I were alone. page 128 The Yellow House, by Martin Gayford Penguin Books 2007
