Never liked it as a child (maybe because the gypsies brought it to the front door and they scared me) but age brings reason. After studying the benefits of essential oils and aromatherapy for many years, I've used it as a soother - on pillows, on people, in candles - you name it........... Back to Gaugin - a couple of years ago I wrote a blog about the relationship between Gaugin and VanCough (it was raining!) in which I recounted that there was a strong suggestion that the two had had an argument over a lady of the night and in fury, Gaugin cut off Van Gogh's ear.The Blog of Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650938872732748697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-51662020966148255732012-05-20T10:08:06.600-04:002012-05-20T10:08:06.600-04:00I enjoyed the ramble through Provence.

Gaugin's best work, for my money, was done in Tahiti and thereabouts. Had no idea these two greats were friends, although I understand van Gogh never sold a single painting? <br /><br />I never liked bullfighting, but hey, this one is not as bad as Spain. Hemingway romanticized it, but it's pure blood sport... Thanks, B!
