My daughter's interest in van Gogh

Ever since Catherine started her painting classes last January, she has been talking about all the great painters in the world. She wants to know everything about them and see all their works. Everytime we go to the liquidation store, I look at their book selection. I have found some great ones at great prices and others just too expensive. So, I wait for the prices to go down then buy them (I am that cheap, lol. Well, not cheap but smart. Why pay smething 80$ when you can wait a few months and have it for 10$?). Today, I found these two:

We paid 12.90$CAD with no taxes (sale going on), regular price online is 82.50$USD. Vincent van Gogh has been her favorite so far and she has wanted to know more about him. She even chose one of his paintings as her end of the year painting. And she truly did an amazing job. She is very talented (and she takes that from her father). I am happy to be able to find and offer her the books she wants and to have found a great teacher for her. I know she will go far with her talent. I have known since she was barely 2yo.
