My Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh is considered by many to be one of the best painters of its time. He was born on March 30, 1853 in Zundert, Holland, and even though he had little success during his lifetime, his paintings are now sold into auctions for millions of dollars. Undoubtedly, he was a really talented painter and he managed to paint more than 100 paintings in just 10 years. However, what impressed me the most about him was the fact that even though he was a mental ill person, suffering from depression, he still continued to paint, capturing the world from his own point of view, while other people wouldn't even have the energy to get out of the bed . In my eyes, he is overall a very sensitive and strong person and I wish that more people will appreciate and realize how great his art is.

Van Gogh & Dr Gachet:
G: - What are you doing Vincent?
V: - I am painting your portrait. Now stand still!
G: - Why would you paint me? I am just an old and wrinkly man, you should be painting other people,
younger and more beautiful.
V: - Well I want to paint you. Will you stand still please, I am almost finished.
G: - You are an odd man Vincent.
V: - And that’s why I am here with you.

Imaginary dialogues between Van Gogh & Dr Gachet
Paul: Hey! Is there anything you want to talk about today?
Vincent: Hi...
Paul: What's going on? Why are you so skeptical?
Vincent: *sighs*
Okay...here is the thing...so I was thinking about painting something new...
Paul: Umm...What about a Wheatfield? You haven't done that yet, have you?
Vincent: I WAS NOT FINISHED!
Paul: Okay...I'm sorry...keep going...
Vincent: So...as I was saying...I was thinking about painting something new and this idea came up to my mind.
Paul: So, what is it?
Vincent: What if I draw you? You know... your portrait.
Paul: Yeah...that is not going to happen...
Vincent: Come on Paul! You might become famous one day! *laughs*
Paul: Oh yeah? In that case when are we starting?
*both burst into laughter*

My Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh was a talented painter born in 1853, Van Gogh showed interest in painting from a young age and eventually in 1881 started painting. With some encouragement from his younger brother, Van Gogh managed to and an inspiration to many people, me included. Even in the early years of his life, Van Gogh was always described as a serious and quiet child. He later grew up to become depressed due to work and personal problems.
Though, Van Gogh years later managed to get over his problems and with the help of his younger brother Theo to get back on his feet.Many people who met Van Gogh, described him as a “madman” and a failure but I never saw him like that. Of course the truth is that he went through many difficult times during his life but “a failure” is definitely not the right word for him. On the contrary, in my opinion, the fact that even though he was going through all this managed to become and excellent artist and create hundreds beautiful paintings. This is why to this day Van Gogh remains one of the best artist of all time very memorable and exquisite works of art.
