La Tristesse Durera Toujours…
Vincent van Gogh
Self Portrait

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream
Starry Night
Created in Saint-Rémy, France
June, 1889
If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced

The pictures are very beautiful painting by Vincent van Gogh
very nice this post dedicated to the artist.
Hello dear friend Eclipse are here to wish you Happy Halloween Party.
Good rest of Sunday.
Hugs
Soul.
His eyes like the rays of the sun
Burning fiery red against his pale skin
They draw me closer, full of danger
Yet I can’t turn away
His long fangs are razor blades
Ready to sink into my neck
He edges closer
And I catch my breath
Yet I can’t turn away
I freeze like a deer in headlights
I am trapped
He is the vampire
And I am his prey
Yet I can’t turn away
Wow….! Thank you for this ver special poem Soul! 🙂
Hugs back!

Thank you Andro
and the same wishes back at you!
van Gogh – maybe not my favorite – I love Anders Zorn and Rembrandt – he are very bold in motive and colors with I love both, but his art and I have never clicked.
Still I enjoyed the post. Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries – I must admit talks to me.
Ah, båda är så underbara och unika konstnärer!
Thank you for your visit dear Viveka
Magnifique! I really think he was a genius.
I love your drawing by the way. 🙂
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Thank you dear Cha…hope you’re having a nice beginning of the week
van Gogh was well ahead of his time as great artist’s tend to be. His work is timeless. Thank you Eclipse for this exciting presentation of his paintings!
with love, Eddie
Many thanks for your visit and commenting Eddie!
Beautiful. He was such a talented, tortured man.
He was indeed…
Thank you Daydreamer
If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced…
Story of my life, everything. The voice comes back, so I do it some more. Sometimes I fall in love with whatever it is, and then I do not care if I “can”, or “cannot”. Sometimes.
Thank you-I love these pictures, these words.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream…
I dream words, and colors. I wish to “paint” them, when I wake. Lately, they slip away. But I feel happy to see these words here, so I’m reminded. It’s lovely to visit your world.

Thank you for these sincere words dear Pearl
Prekrasno, stvaro prekrasno -:)!
And you know … the same voice tells ‘not to write’ … so we write to silence it!
Take Care,
Daniela
Hvala Daniela….
True…no muse deserves to be silenced
I feel what you feel, believe me … the sadness will last forever … nothing really matters though… you and your art matters to me … you are precious to me … although we might never meet in person … we will and have met … many times before and will be in the future … Love, cat
Thank you dear Cat….
