"I painted a large picture of the village church- the building has a violet appearance against a flat, deep blue sky of pure colour; the stained glass windows are like ultramarine coloured spots; the roof is violet and orange in parts. At the front is something green in bloom and pink coloured sun=burnt sand. It is almost like the studies I made of the old towers and cemetery in Nuenen- the only difference now being that the colour is more expressive and richer." VANGOGH
