Vincent van Gogh (Graphic work )

Old Man with his Head in his Hands.

(At Eternity's Gate)

This graphic work touched me because it is so emotional. Problems are dealt with tears and sadness.

The problem is "small issues" which could seem so big to us.

It's painful, but the key is to avoid it when the problems are temporary.

Relax your body and quiet your mind. Breathe deeply, there you have it. A quite soul with no problems.

I've chosen this painting maybe because it represents some of me .

I can see that the mood for this picture is: so sad, hopeless, down and regretting the past and fearing the future. It makes me feel unhappy.

However, we must not let our fears or tears back us down.

I like the man not showing his face. Just his body doing all the talking.

I love the sketching of the picture. I like it more in black and white than if it's colored.

Vincent van Gogh has a unique sense of style. No one can copy his sense of drawing or painting.
