Do you think this is the best?

The Starry Night was completed near the mental asylum of Saint-Remy, 13 months before Van Gogh’s death at the age of 37. Van Gogh painted furiously and The Starry Night vibrates with rockets of burning yellow while planets gyrate like cartwheels. The hills quake and heave, yet the cosmic gold fireworks that swirl against the blue sky are somehow restful.

Great description of a beautiful painting.
I agree, sadly they aren’t mine. I don’t really have a way with words.
Never fully appreciated it until I heard the song :) I checked out other works of Van Gogh, and a lot of them are just as amazing :)
Beautiful, you must have a way with words, you talk to people on this site don’t you? ;)

Oh thanks! Others are not so nice… but I only have lots of time this weekend. I’m afraid I won’t have as much time in the coming days, so those who instantly showed rudeness should be happy hehe!
Your kindness is deeply appreciated… :)
haha thanks, but I don’t think talking to people on the internet is considered of having a way with words, then again I might be wrong.
has anyone seen his painting, the one with the sunflowers in a vase?
It’s gorgeous as well.
I have seen it, it’s amazing as well. I just love Van Gogh because his painting techniques are so different from any other painter. I replicated Starry Night in my freshman year in high school and it look so similar, but it didn’t do the painting justice.
ooo. i saw the real starry night once. it was pretty small, actually. and you just sort of go O_O THATS IT ?
