            An Amazing Man

Vincent Van Gogh is an amazing artist. He is very outgoing; I admire his work a lot. He was born on March 30 1859 and died on July 29 1890. He walked into a wheat field and shot himself in the chest, two days later he had passed away it his brother Theo at his side. He had drawn about 900 drawing and 1,100 painting. Many say that he took his life, and never tasted fame. A couple of years after his death his paintings and drawings got famous behind his story, now they cost about 100 million dollars. The painting that I admire from Van Gogh is Starry Night I find it very creative and astonishing. Vincent Van Gogh lived a short life but his paintings have many more years to come.
