"Our children took a whole new interest in our new house! They imagined their bedrooms before we moved. Their paintings became a reality on moving day."
Ana-Maria T., mother of ages 7 and 10

"What a clever way to focus on spatial skills. My children rearranged the furniture in their imaginations."
Gil M., father of children ages 8, 9, and 13.

Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh's painting The Bedroom at Arles, often known as The Blue Bedroom, is one of his most well-known paintings and his first oil on canvas. The painting was one of the artist's favorites and he wrote at least 13 letters to family members describing the work. Because of these letters, historians are able to date exactly when the painting was finished: October 17, 1888.
