Happy birthday, Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was born March 30, 1853, and died in July 1890.

​van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Cypresses" was the Ripoff Artists very first challenge. There was a sense of  magic and wonderment in the air in 2007 as the artists struggled to be finished by the 3 pm deadline. The smiling faces say it all!
