Self Portrait

when standing by this painting..

so close to it,

the brush strokes invite you closer

Vincent didn't just paint his own likeness

he revealed a soul,

he has a secret...

he is not a man staring into nothing..

or posing for a portrait..

i don't know what it is about his expression,,

about the colors..

no other artist said so much..

his paintings make you stand and stare
leading you to some kind of conclusion

some kind of explanation..

and always,
to a vibrant restlessness.
