Alrighty then, may I ask you a few questions? You sure can!
Ok, so, when and where were you born? My parents, Anna Carbentus van Gogh and Theodorus van Gogh, introduced Vincent Willem van Gogh Wednesday March 30th, 1853 in the Netherlands. But, I wasn’t the first Vincent Van Gogh; I came from a LONG line of Vincents!

When my mother died, they could only find few paintings and letters I had written to her. I died at the young age of 37. Many thought I had tried to drink yellow paint, but really I only talked about it.
OH, well, um, ok. SO, did you have a spouse/partner? Kids? I lived with a woman named Sien Hoornik, she already had a four-year-old daughter, named Maria. So, no, I didn’t have my OWN kids.
