My favorite painter is Van Gogh. At some point after he decided to pursue his career as a painter he became estranged from his parents (along with many other people in his life). His brother Theo remained his loyal and staunch supporter until the end, giving him financial support even when he failed to sell more than a couple of paintings before he died (now they're worth millions). I told my brother long ago that he would be my Theo.
Sometimes when I get into a fight with my parents about my career choice, I remind myself of Van Gogh.
