I know I just posted a post about an hour ago, but I found this image and had to talk about it. I LOVE van Gogh's "Starry Night", and it has offered a lot of inspiration to me as a painter. I think the thing I love the most is the orbs of light suspended in the air. In most of my paintings, I find myself emulating this glowing orbescence. Hm, I think I just made up a word. But yeah, in my last painting, which I titled "Iluminatory", had a plethora of floating, glowing balls of light or something. So yesh. Just a thought there.

Hey sweetie!
I love that painting too. Our kindergarten teachers last year had their kids do a "reproduction" of that painting, and they were amazing!
Wanna see my favorite landscape painting?

I have an eerie history with this painting - I think it is so creepy and intense and beautiful at the same time. The worst part is I'll never get to see it in person, since it was destroyed in 1945. :(
How do you feel about Sargent? He's my personal favorite.
See you soon!
