142. Vincent Van Gogh: Impressive Impressions!


A work in progress. Tried out a rough sketch to capture the man's intensity.
Somehow I like this one more than the finished one below. It's intense!


The master with a couple of his immortal quotes

    4. I agree Surendra, he had a really mysterious and intense look. Reading his "Letters to Theo" reveals much about the man's inner life and artistic insights. Inspiring, to say the least!

  2. Wow! A true Din-gogh style!! ;) Clearly him & clearly your style. I like how you don't digress from your style. n I actually like the second one..he looks profoundly thoughtful than sad. Hadn't come across his quotes before. Lovely just like him!

    1. It's a paradox that many artists who went through periods of intense depression and mental illness, emerged with, and expressed, the most brilliant of insights, profound creativity and spiritual wisdom.
