I had a fantastic afternoon wandering around the National Gallery today, I spent most of my time in the Impressionists room upstairs. I love the painting 'Olive Trees' (1889) by Van Gogh; the colours are mesmerising and so beautifully applied, but the swirling lines and intense, juxtaposing colours do evoke a sort of sense of anxiety in the viewer, so maybe don't look at it too long.
