Drawing by TC, after Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”
June 19, 2017
Today’s drawing is one I had created in 1983, after the famous “Starry Night” painting by Vincent Van Gogh. What I’ve always admired about Van Gogh’s paintings are the rhythmic & patterned brush strokes. They are very interesting to me and they remind me of my own way of painting sometimes. Vincent felt a lot of pain during his 37 years on this earth…and by working through that pain he left us with an artistic legacy of beauty and emotion that can never be duplicated.
