Affinity To Yellow

And Vincent, the Artist applies on the canvas a black stroke here and a black stroke there before the crows disperse and disappear he steps back to observe but his mind is uneasy his affinity for the bright color yellow is enhancing his depressed manic state and he must strife for completion before it’s too late for his mind and his soul will be lost to his inevitable fate but the Van Gogh legend must carry on that he must fall and rise again to seek out the night and to paint the stars

van Gogh's life was controversial and sad.
