Vincent van Gogh did a selfportrait on oil canvas in September 1889. It was perhaps his last self portrait, and it can be found at Paris' Musee d’Orsay. Here are more details about the painting: where it was located, how it was painted, and when.
Vincent van Gogh discovered an unknown self-portrait in painting "Heads of a Peasant Women"
A painting has revealed a Vincent van Goggh self-portrait that was unidentified. It was found in the painting, "Head of a Pearsant Woman", at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Although it's not the artist's original work, it is similar to five other similar works he created while living in Amsterdam.
The painting's conservators are working to uncover the hidden self-portrait in the painting's reverse side, which was repainted by the artist. The restoration process is delicate and the self-portrait must not be damaged. Fortunately, visitors will be able to view the painting in a specially-made lightbox.
The location of a painting
While no one is sure of the exact location of Van Gogh's famous self portrait, it has been speculated that it was created on the day of his ill health. It is interesting, however, to recall that Van Gogh wrote many letters over his lifetime. One letter refers to a self picture he painted at National Museum on the 20th of September 1889. The letter indicates that the painting depicts Van Gogh at a very sad time in his life, and it supports the notion that it was painted during his illness.
Van Gogh’s self-portraits often date from Paris, when he was at his best and the colors were more vibrant. A number of his self portraits are currently on display at the Courtauld Gallery in London.
Brushstrokes used in Van Gogh's paintings
Van Gogh is most well-known for his self portrait. It is his largest self portrait and was made of cotton. This painting is unique in many ways. It has a dominant blue color that draws the attention upwards. It also has fewer detailed brushstrokes for the face, and the background is less distinct.
Van Gogh's self portrait was inspired by Japanese prints. The resultant painting is bolder, more dynamic than other. He started to paint self-portraits for both personal reflection and to earn some extra money. It was also an opportunity to grow his artist skills.
Meaning of painting's colors
Van Gogh's self portrait is a classic example of his experiments with color. Van Gogh creates a circle-like effect around his head by using complementary colors for his background and beard. He also used long, dash-type brushstrokes.
The artist's color choices are an expression to his mood. Yellow is the most prominent color in this work. Yellow is the symbol of hope, happiness, and life. The other colors are brown and earth tones, which signify virtue. This was the intention of the artist, who wanted to portray his humble nature through these colors.

Five interesting facts about your liver.
The liver is responsible in breaking down toxins, storing vitamins and mineral, and for regulating blood pressure. It also helps regulate blood pressure and keeps our body temperature stable.
Is it not often that we hear people say "I feel sluggish today" and "my head feels heavier?" These symptoms may be a sign of liver disease.
Other symptoms include itching, yellowing of the skin, heavy urine, yellowing of the skin, fatigue and nausea. These are not all the warning signs. If you experience any of them, make an appointment with your doctor immediately.
The liver, an essential organ, is vital. It is responsible for detoxification as well digestion, metabolism and immunity.

What is the most surprising fact about your body?
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. Yes, more than 50 parts to our bodies. But one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump, which circulates blood throughout our bodies. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent of an adult drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. The capillaries are tiny blood vessels that can be seen on the skin's surface. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. The skin turns blue or violet when blood flow becomes blocked.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
The doctor may also insert catheters (catheters), into the artery at the site of the blood clot. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. An actor will probably be rejected quite often. You will find someone who loves and accepts you eventually.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love to act and tell stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the time.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Maybe you are asked to change your vocal chords. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They weren't born with the talents that made them famous. They don't always fit the bill, no matter how hard they try.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. The brain controls everything that happens in your body. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain is composed of billions and billions nerve cells, connected in groups called neurons. Neurons communicate by sending electrical signals, called action potentials, on axons. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement is what causes the neurons to fire.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the second neuron, opening ion channels so ions can pass in and out of the channel. The second neuron also fires.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
The nervous system relies on neurotransmitters for communication. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
