Yes he was left handed, some people believe.

Some experts maintain there are signs that he was.

I would have to disagree. Look at his "self-portrait in front of the easel" (Paris, early 1888). See link below!

Vincent holds his palette and brushes in his right hand, presumably using his left hand to paint. But, now look in a mirror, as Vincent apparently was doing to paint himself. The right hand becomes the left and vise versa. So what appears to be Vincent painting with his left hand, is actually Vincent painting with his right hand.
