Starry Night
The Starry Nights, what a gorgeous and passionate painting that expresses a true artists view of the world. When I first encountered this painting I was taken back by Vincent Van Goghs usage of yellows and blues. At first I did not know what to make of it, it did not make any since to me. It is just amazing this is what he saw through his eyes, something not many people could so until he put his vision on canvas. I personally think that “The Starry Nights” is one of the most spectacular paintings I have ever seen. Usually I am not one to be in ah of art, art is not usually something that catches my eye. I like the way he uses his colors on the canvas, they seem to flow so well swirling together to give off strong feelings.

If the houses where not so elaborately decorated or placed I for one would be more focused on the sky or the tree in the foreground. “The Starry Night” I feel is a marvelous painting that is bold and full of life, which also descriptive and colorful. At first sight the painting can be seen as mysterious and intriguing, because of the use of color and its subject matter. I like the way Vincent emphasizes linear movements of paint over the surface and the movement of his brush stoke, which looks so free flowing. His Style in this painting gives the illusion of depth and flat surface pattern, which allows arising feeling of calm and tranquility through the painting. This may be what I see when I look upon this painting, but others may get a variety of moods, atmosphere, or even objects. So when looking at “The Starring Night”, or any other expressionist art peace it is all in the eye of the beholder. The two major points on the painting for me is the tree
