van Gogh Paintings

Before we started painting, we talked about a few interesting facts about Vincent van Gogh.  He actually thought this painting of The Starry Night was a disgrace and not very good. He didn't start painting until he was 27 and he died when he was 37.  He only sold one painting in his lifetime and that was to a friend.  He died thinking he wasn't a very good painter.  The most expensive painting that was ever sold of his was 148.6 million dollars.  He painted approx. 900 paintings in 10 years.
