CW: Discussion of Suicide/Self Harm Today Vincent Van Gogh is one of the world’s most revered artists, with one of his paintings selling in 1990 for $82.5 million. But Vincent’s life was one of struggle… struggle to decide his career path, to perfect his painting techniques, to find love, to make a name for himself as an artist, and most of all, to feel in control of his mental health. In this very special episode, we experience Vincent Van Gogh as never before: through a field trip to the Van Gogh Exhibition: The Immersive Experience, research into his life and relationships, and insights shared first-hand by the legendary Don McLean, the award-winning singer and songwriter behind the song “Vincent,” known to many as “Starry, Starry Night.” Listen at scandalwaterpodcast.com or find the episode dropped in the comments below. This haunting tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, with a special audio message from Don McLean, is one you won’t want to miss.
