van Gogh Never Saw Mount Fuji

Description

Today we hop from the Great Wall over to Mount Fuji in Japan, just like van Gogh never did. "van Gogh Never Saw Mount Fuji", 12x12 inches oil on canvas. Original painting available here - www.etsy.com/listing/251708914…

I have decided to create a collection of "van Gogh never saw __insert landmark here__" paintings. This one showcases him never seeing Mt Fuji in Japan. This is the seventh painting in the ongoing series.

Where did the idea come from? So glad you asked! I painted an impressionist Eiffel Tower painting in 2013 (you can find prints of the painting here - the piece is titled "Seine"). A travel blog miss-attributed it to van Gogh (who never even saw the Eiffel Tower complete,) and I have been fighting paint and sip studios using my painting for profit ever since. If you had told me prior to 2013 that I would literally have to prove to people that I am not Vincent van Gogh, I would have laughed entirely too hard at just the thought. This collection showcases how ludicrous the whole thing really is.
