Van Gogh is probably the greatest example to use as a representation of an emotional aspect, the various paintings he has crafted shows a varied range of emotions, racing up and down the emotional spectrum fleeting from the bright colorful images of the flowers, birds, landscapes and the vibrant starry night, to the dark dismal portrayal of the workers and strangers in a bar with ‘weathered faces lined in pain’ – Don McLean, Vincent
Even dealing with his own emotional problems he still
managed to create his amazing selection.

Van Gogh has perfectly captured the emotion of a lonely man waiting for something or someone, he accentuates this by his use of color, blue being a cold color predominates the image and shows brings the feelings to light.
In a similar way with the last image, by once again overpowering the image using brown in contrast as a cold color, he also once again captures the intent of the subjects face and the idea behind the emotions it exposes.
Although he once again uses the color blue in this piece, he shows how the color can be used to show a positive effect, the contrast between the blue and yellow give a very warm feeling rather then blues intended cold.
