The nonjudgmental attitude of the miners was his saving grace. He was so greatly able to capture their essence through his art because he had worked, ate, lived and breathed with them.

Men try to live a ‘decent' life expected of them by the society. So did Vincent. Day after day after day, and failed miserably. Until he ‘finds' himself out! Until He discovers the artist in him

It's said: Life is short but art is long. I admire a great artist in you dear madam. Stay blessed.

He was a troubled man and would have died as one of life's failures had it nit been for his paintings.
