A Starry Night For Vincent


carpe diem

he clung to the bars
in love with the blue and gold
vowed it would be his 


vincent got his wish
one hundred years later
after his death
he would never know

his portrait of Dr Gachet sold for
$148.6 million dollars in 1990

    It does look very much like bars ---

    Bars in his mind -- but a very open heart. :)

    'In love with the blue and gold' awesome line. An impression of an impression.

    The saddest part (to me) of Vincent's life is that he never knew fame or fortune. He died in ignominy, but his paintings will live forever (well, at least as long as the world lasts).

    Poor Vincent ... there's just so much injustice in the world at times ... and little place for diversity.
