In the foreground some green plants in bloom, and sand with the pink flow of sunshine in it. And once again it is nearly the same thing as the studies I did in Nuenen of the old tower and the cemetery, only it is probably that now the colour is more expressive, more sumptuous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other images of the church may be distinguished in the background of views of the village.\u00a0 In <em>View of Auvers with Church<\/em> the depiction is
