Full Mood- Grieving Van Gogh

“If someone so brilliant as Van Gogh could reach for an idea so destructive with the goal of making himself happy, maybe it wasn’t so absurd that she thought painting the bathroom yellow would ease the ache of the one she lost. She could paint a bathroom so bright that the flowers growing in her chest would have somewhere else to go.”

Grieving Van Gogh is an ode to an artist that has made me feel every emotion in terribly raw ways (this is a compliment, I swear) and about the things we find solace in. You can read it in Full Mood’s second issue.
