Un Homme Aux Soleils - The story behind

This water pencil drawing was made after a long thought from my trip to Auvers-Sur-Oise for homage Vincent Van Gogh's 100 years' deathin 1990.
Like I once wrote in a prose (UNITAS a literary monthly June-2004):

寂寞應該是自己選擇的吧。
還記得梵谷在給弟弟迪歐的信中寫到奧維的好：
“離巴黎不遠，但是又夠遠到是真的鄉下。“

Loneliness must be a free will.
Remembered Van Gogh mentioned in a letter to his brother Théo:
"Ici on est loin assez de Paris pour que ce soit la vraie campagne, ..."
("Here one is far enough from Paris for it to be real country, ...")

Wherever and whenever the loneliness could haunt one's heart, and feel helpless despite any possible cure.
Auvers-Sur-Oise is in my eyes, one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth. Van Gogh has had spent not more than 3 months at this little commune, surrounded by many friends and good weather. Which anyone among us would pleased and contented by it. But the loneliness was like an incurable cancer, and finally chewed his heart off.

That one could be loved and cared by many, but still blinded by it's self-despair.
