Painting of the week #2 (4/10/12) "Starry night" by Vincent Van Gogh

One pretty illustration of the night sky full of stars, made by Vincent Van Gogh.. one of his most famous paintings of all times! 
What i personally love most about this painting, is Gogh's try to form the realistic illustration of what we know stars are, and what we see stars are -- what we see is crosses and lines extensions of lights -- what he changed,
he made them round and real rather than just a light, the way we see them in the dark sky!

So Gogh went and drew stars, all shiny and lighting up (the way we see it), but artistically twisted it into round shaped actual stars, the way they are supposed to be ;) *creative Mr. Vincent!!*

The colors of this painting are very relaxing to the eyes, not funky and annoying.. he used different shades of blue and a little bit of other colors but very dim, and not directly in the center of the painting!! I would personally buy this painting and hang it somewhere in my house.. as much as i adore Salvador Dali's work, but i would only look at it for a while --  not a keeper like this! 

what do y'all think of this?? share!
