Wow—this is refreshingly serious and formal in design. It's good to see you celebrating red as well. Van Gogh's eyes look so sad. I think it's one of the saddest things that can happen to a brilliant creative artist in any field: not to be recognized in their own lifetime.
I forgot to say: I love the title, Jo. If y'all don't mind thinking of "listening" as something that can be done with the eyes as well as the ears, I believe strongly that we should listen carefully to artists of the past. They have so much to teach us! And Vincent's amazing letters to his brother Theo are documents we should also "listen" to.

DeleteI had the same intention with the word 'listen' .... listen with your eyes.... and 'hear' the silence.
