Vincent's Gift
Vincent’s Gift is a pattern based on the Almond Blossom painting by Vincent van Gogh. I was always fascinated by this painting of this great Dutch master. It was actually a gift for his brother, who became a father. For that reason, I have called this pattern the Gift of Vincent. It was a gift in giving a present, but it is also a perfect example of the gift Vincent had by holding a brush and creating the most amazing paintings. Besides that, this is actually my first ever written pattern. I found the notes for it back in some boxes lately, and I stopped producing it as I didn’t believe in it. Well, by encrypting these words and finish this project, I think we might agree even I was surprised what I cooked up.
