Interesting Thoughts on Vincent Van Gogh
As I learned about Vincent Van Gogh, there were several things that interested me about him. What struck me the most is how he made nearly 900 drawings and 1,100 paintings before his death, but nobody was interested at buying or maybe even looking at his artwork, well, until now. As Van Gogh lived his life, it devastates me that he lost several jobs he tried and couldn't find one that suited him. But, luckily his younger brother, Theo, told him to try out painting. Van Gogh loved so dearly that nothing in the world could stop him from painting pictures. Today, Vincent Van Gogh's artwork is known all over the world and it's worth is so enormous, about 100 million dollars. Van Gogh was a true artist at his work. His work so as the famous "Starry Night" and "Irises" show that he is very talented. His life story has touched millions of people's hearts after his death a few century's ago, but will continue on century's more.

I couldn't agree more! It is really sad that no one liked his artwork until after his death. Your writing is very good and you sentences flow. I ,personally, think that "irises" and "starry night" are beautiful and deserved to be worshiped. I think it is a wonderful blog.
ReplyDelete.....Loved it, you can wrigth such heart felt things at just the right time you know when people are about to tune off you spice it up. I loved the way the words just came naturally to you. Although I felt is was more like a retelling story rather than an opninonative story but i still loved it!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. It had information and it had your opinions. The only thing I disagree with is that his paintings are worth 100 million dollars. A bugatti veyron is the fastest car in the world and it is only worth about two million dollars. So I doubt Van Gogh's paintings are worth 100 million. But other then that, this was still a really great blog.

Nice blog! I enjoyed your facts about Van Gogh. You summurized his life very nicley. What I would've liked to see a little bit more relating rather than telling facts. Regardless it was an interesting blog and a pleasure to read. Great Job!

A wonderful blog Jodie! I also am very amazed on how he was able to make about 900 drawings and 1100 paintings in only 10 years. If I could time travel I would buy 1 of his paintings and then sell it for 100 million. The only thing that is missing is a little bit more feeling. But a great blog anyway
