The Asylum of St. Paul de Mausole evokes  the experience of its most famous resident, Vincent Van Gogh. To be mentally ill, surrounded by strange sounds, hopeful of recovery, and courageous enough to seek it...the sacred arches of the monastery alternate with the haunting shadows. Here, I embellished its domed ceiling with "haint blue" to bring peace to the troubled mind.
