van Gogh, The Mulberry Tree, 1889
Surely a canvas I've covered is worth more than a blank one.
This, dear Lord is all I have -- my right to paint, my reason for painting --
and believe me, my pretensions go no further.
And after all it has cost me: this dilapidated carcass and a brain addled from living as best I can and have had to because of my own philanthropy.
My concentration is becoming more intense, my touch more certain. So I can almost dare to promise you that my paintings will get better. Because that is all I have left.
