I have become a huge fan of Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch Artist) after reading Lust for Life, a biographical novel written by Irving Stone. A tragic ending story, but truly inspiring. There is a lot one can learn from his life. It is an epitome for unconditional love, determination, family values and kindness towards mankind.

Some of his painting are now among the most popular and expensive art of the world. I find his work very interesting. But i am not quite sure how far i have succeeded in understanding the true essence of those paintings. I liked almost all works of van gogh. Here are the few i liked the most.
