Such a troubled soul. I wrote about him as well. Imagine if he lived to see the love and extreme adoration from people all around the world about his work, now worth millions.

Vase of fifteen flowers 1888. Wow, Eve this is just stunning, and your words make me want to know more about Vincent van Gogh! I know the von's are not capitalized and the Vans are but that's how he used his.

Lol! How about his quotes: "I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly'”_Vincent Willem van Gogh. “...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”_Vincent Willem van Gogh. I'd like to see you post some of your art, dear.

Thank you. As and artist I personally didn’t like his work.
