Nothing is sadder than an artist that cannot find his footings in a cold world. Such was the case with Vincent Van Gogh.
Today we have a name for people like Vincent. They are called empaths, or highly sensitive personalities, or whatever. I understand Vincent. Sometimes the world is hard. Sometimes the world is cold.
And sometimes the world is beautiful!
Empaths struggle to find their footing because everything is bigger for empaths than the life that most individuals see and live each day. Bigger and scarier.
Anyhow. That's all I have to say about Vincent's mental state. Vincent painted colorful fishing boats in a painting titled, Boats at St. Marie.
Here is an image of his painting:
These colorful old fishing boats dating back to Van Gogh's era can still be seen in the small fishing port of Bouziques, in the south of France. How cool is that?
This little painting was painted a few years ago and I took it out recently and re-worked a couple passages. If you like it, send me an email at maryannejacobsen@aol.com
