There is something infinite in painting
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 19 August 1882
There is something infinite in painting - I cannot explain it to you so well - but it is so delightful just for expressing one's feelings. There are hidden harmonies or contrasts in colors which involuntarily combine to work together and which could not possibly be used in another way.
Tomorrow I hope to go and work in the open air again.
