It's a gorgeous summer day in London. Of course, I'm indoors staring at my thesis with the same blank, glazed look to which I have become accustomed. That doesn't stop me from staring out my kitchen window onto this scene with great envy.

The sun reminds me of my venture to the National Gallery earlier this month, where I took a few minutes out of my day to admire their innovative "living wall" display. Behold the genius of eco-art:

| An understatement. |

Really, it is a brilliant concept. I don't think van Gogh ever imagined that his art would take on such a form, but I do think he would be delighted by the concept, which marries very well with his own views of the supreme relationship between nature and art. To see one of his most beloved paintings through (literally) nature is an almost transformative experience to undertake. Very inspiring. Now, back to work.
