One of the biggest ironies of my life is that my Favorite Van Gogh painting "Starry Night " was painted by him in while at the depths of his abject life when he was delusional and severely depressed .
And it is this one painting that changed my life by 360 degrees and brought me so much happiness in painting it and getting to know it they way I now do . Every time I see it ..its one of those moments that just takes my breath away.
Why is it that some of the most awesome and inspiring works of art have been created by people who lived in times far darker than ours , who suffered so greatly but whose thoughts were more free that we can ever aspire to be and these thoughts made liberated souls , artits , authors , poets and van gogh;s out of them .
" I know nothing with certainty - but the sight of stars makes me dream "
Vincent Van Gogh
