My idol is Van Gogh.

He was a famous painter and he had a difficult life.
Van Gogh tried some occupations and finally found his vocation: “painting”. Van Gogh was very alone and sick, but he was always painting. Van Gogh´s pictures weren´t sold (he sold one picture in all his life) and he didn´t have money to buy food. His brother was a person who Van Gogh liked very much and he sent money and letters to Van Gogh. One day, Van Gogh was painting in a field and felt a terrible stomachache, he didn´t have time to go to the doctor and he died. Some years later, his nephew found his paintings and opened a gallery. After that Van Gogh´s paintings became very famous.

I like Van Gogh because he was a person who never stopped doing what he liked and he was an example of living. His paintings are very nice and colourful.
