Vincent Study 4

Why not make it an even thirtytwo blogs for the year? Here is another, you guessed it, Van Gogh inspired study in watercolour. The key here was to replicate the effect of Starry Night the work he did while he was (voluntarily) staying at a mental asylum in southern France. I layered on about three or four different kinds of brush strokes to give the sky that abstract feeling, it kind of looks like a fireworks explosion. The sky has a moon, even though the rest of the scene is set in twilight. Two people watch the madness from a far. Happy new year!

 On the B side was another abstract, I called it 'Desert Rose Garden'
