Vincent van Gogh enjoyed making Children Paintings. He once said that it's the only thing that "excites me to the depths of my soul, and which makes me feel the infinite more than anything else." Painting children, in particular represented rebirth and the infinite. Flower Paintings Over his career Van Gogh did not make many paintings of children, but those he completed were special to him. During the ten years of Van Gogh's career as a painter, from 1881–1890, his work changed and grew richer, particularly in how he used color and techniques symbolically or evocatively. Boats Paintings His early works were earth-toned and dull. After a transformative period in Paris, Van Gogh embarked on his most prolific periods starting in Arles, in the south of France and continuing until his final days in Auvers-sur-Oise. People Paintings During those times his work became more colorful and more reflective of influences, such as Impressionism and Japonism. Japonism influences are understood in the painting of a young girl, La Mousme. Building Paintings Among others, he was inspired by the work of Jean-Francois Millet which he emulated inFirst Steps and Evening: The Watch.
