Escapade 1461
Charlie Murray
Can we normalise being 33 and not having a clue what’s going on? Not having that perfectly put together life, things falling apart that weren’t ever meant to and starting over for what is almost certain to be the final time? Unless, of course, it isn’t.
Vincent Van Gogh was 37 when he swapped his paintbrush for a revolver and left his final mark on this world in various shades of ochre and heartache. Blood turns from red to various shades of browns as it dries, Ochre, comes in various shades of reds, oranges and browns, isn’t that weirdly beautiful? A man who painted some of his most iconic paintings, not that he knew they were iconic, with shades of ochre had those same shades as the last colours he left on this world.
Whether he knew it or not, at 33 he had just 4 years left.
If so much can change in one year, what could happen in four?
Welcome to The 1461 Escapade, let’s find out.
