I found a site that has a collection of all of his works.

http://www.vggallery.com/index.html

I don't like the ones that are just a piece of fruit or a bunch of flowers, their too boring. Here are some of my favorites but I haven't even looked through most of them yet:

Nice, I would also check out:

Van Gogh Museum (http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/), Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

http://www3.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.jsp?lang=nl

A beautiful Museum dedicated to the works by their Native citizen Vincent.

I was there in 1999, right after they opened the new exhibition wing designed by Kisho Kurokawa.

an awesome experience and a most see by any one who enjoys Vincent's art.

The National Gallery of art also has a nice virtual tour online:

I wasn't into his art all that much until I read Lust for Life (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452262496/104-1473840-3574318?v=glance&n=283155), a biography based on his letters. It really made me feel his art much more.

When at the van Gogh museum (they have a chronological tour of his works) I could place the different styles and see how they came about because of his frame of mind at the time.

Some of my favourite ones he did when he was the most tormented mentally.

Kanem a bit off topic: you really do have the coolest avatar! the boondocks is one of my favorite comics.
