LEXINGTON, Ky. — As a follow-up to the artistic, musical journey of The Painter album, comes Michael Johnathon’s 176 page celebration of Vincent van Gogh and other artists, “WoodSongs 5: A Fireplace Compendium & Van Gogh Reader.”

WoodSongs 5 is a fun, enjoyable and intellectual journey through the world of art, music and painting. From Vincent van Gogh to Pete Seeger, da Vinci to John Denver, Michelangelo to Billie Holiday and more. The book shares the rare, seldom heard backstories of great artists at a time when creatives everywhere are struggling. A must read for everyone trying to navigate the new, digital world from the American folk singer pointing the way.

DID YOU KNOW Van Gogh tried TWICE to give away “The Starry Night” painting as gifts, and twice the receiver did not like the painting enough to accept it? That rejected painting now has an insured value of over $1BILLION US, yet at the time it was considered worthless.

DID YOU KNOW the great artistic master Michelangelo died an unknown pauper?
