Starry Night.


Starry Night

Painted by Vincent Van Gogh


Vincent Van Gogh is a very talented artist. One of my favorite paintings by him since I was a school girl is "Starry Night". In my opinion, through his mellowing colors and swirling marks he is creating a peaceful scene. Close to the bottom of the painting, he blends the darkness of the night sky passively into the setting sun. A smoothness arises. It is also easy to detect the tranquility of the painting from the non-chaotic and still houses below the mezmorizing stars. Some may say there is a gloomy scense to this picture but I disagree. I find a serene tone from this work of art.
