It's artist birthday remembrance for March!
Van Gogh has a birthday coming up March 30 and surely by then I can start thinking if not of Irises just yet, at least of a crocus or two.
A long before Van Gogh but on the same day, Francisco de Goya was born in 1746.
March 6 was the birthday of Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni ((6 March 1475 – 18 February).
American photographer Diane (Nemerov) Arbus was born on March 14, 1923 and died in 1971, in New York City.

Great post! Very fun shot of Mona Lisa!
Damn if I had been born a day later I could have shared anniversaries with Van Gogh and my beloved Goya!
Great post. I like how you are a "hard core" art appreciator (is that a word?).
Jams - I'll keep in mind that you are a Goya fan!
Kathe - hi and welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
Yogi - that describes me just fine! Thanks for coming over.
If only I'd been born in March I could have had something in common with some of my all time favorite artists.
Susan - when IS your birthday? Two Goya fans and a couple of my favorite blog buddies. I'll have to do a post on da man!
