van Gogh bio rhyme

 
famous after death dutch painter van Gogh
vincent more often than not to nature did go
painted with cheap paints and shadows random
lived in poverty, painted as if chased by a phantom
cut off his ear, mentally ill, his art utterly ignored till
his death, now world famous for his great artistic skill

I enjoyed reading your wonderful/creative "Vincent van Gogh" write. I enjoy many of his painting. This one is so pretty. Your last line says it all. Many only become famous after death. Will this be for some of the Soup group??? Guess we will never know. "Good Luck" Have a blessed day/weekend writing away.....................
