Where will your passion take you?

Where will your passion take you?

Vincent Van Gogh painted Starry Night Over the Rhone ar Arles wearing a straw hat with candles in it — this offered just enough light for him to paint by. It must have been quite a sight for anyone who cared to watch him atop the hill as he painted. Little know outside the Avant-garde art movement of the time and having sold very few paintings in his lifetime, Van Gogh died in poverty never to see how his paintings would come to be some of the most valued in the world.

As I stared at Starry Night Over the Rhone ar Arles on the wall of the gallery, I was inspired not only by the beauty of what I was looking at, but the imagery of someone in the dark creating something so beautiful while no one was looking. 

And having the passion to do it over, and over, and over again.

Thanks of the comment \ud83d\udc1d Fatima Williams. You are right we need to value what's right in front of us, and even the smallest light can show the way.

Thanks for the comment Praveen Raj Gullepalli. I know what you mean... the poor tortured soul couldn't even take his own life without dragging it out for two days. He is one of a handful of artists who has touched my soul.

Beautiful painting Graham\ud83d\udc1d Edwards "I was inspired not only by the beauty of what I was looking at, but the imagery of someone in the dark creating something so beautiful while no one was looking." So much to value and learn from the very things that are right in front of us. We only need to open our eyes are see. We need to be the light in someone's darkness #Lifegoals
