Starry, starry night
The other day I went to see an excellent film, "My Brush with Genius" about Vincent Van Gogh, at the Imax theater in Tampa, at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), that is located there. It was an excellent film, and I am a huge fan of Van Gogh, so I wanted to share a video with you of a song about him, "Vincent" by Don Mclean, with some of his paintings. Van Gogh committed suicide when he was 37 years old (three years older than I am now), and he only sold one painting while he was alive. Today his paintings are worth more than $85 million a piece. I have Van Gogh replicas all over my apartment.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I love that song. I never saw a Van Gogh painting. WOW! Those paintings are awesome. The music mixed nicely with the pictures.
Thank you again!

I included Van Gogh in my NAMI presentation. His work was so beautiful yet he was dealing with something beyond his control. My heart goes out to individuals like him and yourself. Thanks for the post!
