Yes, he looks like one big secret in this painting. This is a witty ode to an iconic piece of art. I'm really loving all of these entries!
Best of luck in the contest.
Take care,

Comment from LisaMay
Vincent van Gogh is one of my most favourite painters. Your poem captures the mental unease of the artist, where outward appearances can be deceptive. Vincent's inner turmoil was too much for him.
(I think the comma after 'portrait' is unnecessary.)

You contest entry painted a sad picture of the artist,
Mystery Author. Good job with the syllable count per
line. I liked the alliteration of the letter s. Yes, Van Gogh
was a troubled artist, though he's famous now.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan
