Poor Vincent so gifted and so troubled .
I hope to be going to see this light show next month in Malaga where it is at the moment .
I have always believed that his painting was his way to express his feelings , rather that cause them! As I walked through the gallery, that displayed many of his paintings, I went through emotions from " oh that is a nice picture" to some that made me think “oh god, how sad he must have been to paint this”.
When an artist can project his feelings, through his art, I see it as a very worthwhile talent…and one that may have helped him deal with his problems, before he felt his only option was suicide!

I would love to go to see that exhibition. I hope it comes somewhere near to me.
I think Don Mclean did a good job of describing van-gogh and his feelings when he wrote Vincent.

I used to spend a lot of time in the Jeu de Paume where all the Impressionists were kept.He’s not strictly one of those I suppose but he does have some impressionistic paintings.
