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.

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

These few words explain the painting and Vincent van Gogh's sad life.
He like some took his grief to the worst and final end in suicide.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Joan
