Vincent Van Gogh has depicted himself in paintings several times. He paints his face as it appears the mirror. Interestingly, he died at the age of thirty-seven and he has also created thirty-seven self portraits, each showing a different look and angle of his face. Two of his portraits show him with a bandaged ear which happened after he tried to cut it off. The colors he used in his portraits are vivid which is evident in most Vincent van Gogh paintings. Although Vincent Van Gogh has led a troubled life, afflicted with mental illness and struggling with depression, he has created many of the most beautiful and remarkable works of art which has gained worldwide fame after his death. His paintings portray contrasting emotions of bleakness and optimism which reflected his inner turmoil as he coped with his frustration. Despite this, Van Gogh has not lived his life in vain because he has left an impression that has contributed a lot to modern art.

Running My Own Firm
03.31
I have always wanted to start my own web development business. I was born into a family that consisted of two very hard working and career oriented parents, as well as my twin sister. Even though our parents spent much of their time working hard, it was okay because my sister and I knew that our parents were working hard so that we would be financially secure in the future, if anything were ever to happen to them. While I was growing up, my parents taught me many important work lessons, but I took one to heart and have maintained several of them through my school years. The most important of the lessons was to always have a good and hard work ethic. Eventually, I graduated from high school and college at the top of my class. I took my degree and started my great career running my own web development firm. So, they showed me that with a little hard work, achieving my goals was possible!

I’m a proud shop owner here in the UK. This business has been in the family for three generations now and I’ll be leaving it to my children when they are ready to take it over. The last few years I’ve been getting hit right in the checque book every time winter rolls around when it comes to my gas bill. My supplier was charging me an arm and a leg. Well I had finally had enough so I turned to a savings expert to compare gas prices for me and find me the best supplier for my store before I signed the next business contract with my old supplier. I’m glad I did because the saving expert chap that worked with me was able to find me a deal that cut my costs by more then half. Half! It makes my blood boil to think of how many years I was being over charged. But that’s not a problem now.
