What are the materials used in relief painting?
I pour liquid paper mache into a plaster mold to cast a model which I then paint in either acrylic or oil paint. I adhere the cast, painted model to a wooden board upon which a scene in acrylic or oil paint has been painted. The cast model blends with the background scene and seems to emerge from the background. I sometimes enclose the finished work in a shadowbox. To see examples of some relief paintings I have created go to www.cameoqueen.com/.

How many painting did Vincent van Gogh produce?
Vincent Van Gogh painted 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. His best works were done near the end of his life (committed suicide).
Van Gogh suffered many bouts of depression and after a breakdown he cut off his left ear during a seizure Dec. 24, 1888. Over 150 psychiatrists tried to label his depressive state and 30 different diagnoses were given:
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar
- Syphilis
- Temporal lobe epilepsy
- Acute intermittent Porphyria
- Insomnia
- Addicted to Absinthe (alcohol.)
It has been said that the psychiatrists thought Absinthe was the cause of yellow vision and thus, that's why Van Gogh used so many yellows in his paintings. There were suspicions in the future when scientists thought because the paint had lead in it that Van Gogh suffered from lead poisoning causing him to see halo effects and thus many of Van Gogh's works had a halo effect to them.
It has also been suggested that Van Gogh suffered from the brain disorder, Hypergraphia. The disorder causes a near constant overwhelming urge to write and is associated with epilepsy or mania.

What were Vincent van goghs challenges?
Vincent Van Gogh led a very troubled life with many challenges......
After schooling, he was interested in being a preacher. When he went to study, he found the material of Latin, Greek, and mathematics to be too challenging for his liking. He then moved on to working as a lay preacher in a coal mining town. There he was denied of any income due to the fact that he was very concerned for the conditions of the workers. Also due to his caring social commitments he continued to live in poverty, but did everything in his power to help the needy.
He also fell in love with Clasina Maria Hoornik, or Sien. Sien was a pregnant, alcoholic, prostitute Vincent fell in love with, and wanted very much to marry after she was periodically the subject of his paintings.
After they broke up due to his brother Theodore advising him against the relationship, he spent the most difficult time of his life at his parents house falling into a deep depression that was very relevant in his artwork which became extremely dark and dreary.
Van Gogh spent time in the Yellow House with Gaugin. Here they found they hated one another and Vincent ended up attacking him one night with a razor. Gaugin ran off and Vincent cut off a chunk of his ear, wrapped it in newspaper and offered it as a gift to a local prostitute. Then, along with a bad reputation, Vincent was diagnosed with epilepsy, alcoholism and schizophrenia, and thrown in and out of a mental hospital for the rest of his life.

Where can you see Vincent VanGogh's self portrait with bandaged ear?
Van Gogh cut off the lobe of his left ear, enveloped it, and sent it to a woman named Rachel with a letter that read, "Guard this object carefully".
He may have been looking into a mirror while painting the self portrait, for the picture shows his right ear is bandaged rather than his left.
Soon after that violent event, Van Gogh was sent to an insane asylum on May 7, 1889. Here he was tested for multiple mental illnesses, but his exact sickness is still undetermined.
