van Gogh lightens up Linden Street (next to Petco)

Made possible with the generous support of Federal Realty

These are some of the art students who brightened the vacant window next to Petco on Linden Street.

These Vincent van Gogh inspired paintings were done by 7 to 14 year-old students of Painting and Drawing at Wellesley's Recreation Department with Wellesley artist and instructor D’Ann Hansen.  

Sunflowers and Starry Night are two of van Gogh’s most beloved works. He painted both while living in the South of France in the years 1888 and 1889. Students studied van Gogh’s work and were asked to do their own interpretation.
