The Real Sunflowers

Growing up, Becky had this painting of Vincent van Gogh's "The Vase with Sunflowers" hanging on a wall in her family's home. So, as you can imagine, she was shocked to find out that it was not an original, but a copy of the real one that hangs in the Neue Pinakothek Museum!

We came up with a theory that the original is in Minnesota, and this one is actually the reproduction. It helps her sleep at night knowing that it's safe there, since this is the one that an art thief would probably target.

You know what Steve's thinking: "I could paint this."
