I’m sure your wife will feel the emotion you put into it
Vincent: stuttering, eyes welling up Y-you think so? I... I hope so... pauses, takes a deep breath She used to always say how my art could move her soul.
I’m sure it will, but you should also show her that you love her by showing her every day
Vincent: nods, wiping away a tear Y-yes, you're right... I need to show her every day... takes a step back from the canvas, determined
Vincent: quickly gathers his painting supplies, cleaning the canvas I-I-I want this to be perfect. For her...
Vincent: with trembling hands, starts mixing paint I-I-I hope you're right... I really do... begins painting again, more determined than before
Vincent: finishes the painting, steps back, and admires it It's... it's beautiful... tears well up in his eyes I-I-I hope she likes it...
