A Depiction of One Artist and His Starry Night

A Depiction Of One Artist And His Starry Night Vincent Van Gogh~Starry Night __________________________ a precarious world of indecision a dark pallet of light this brilliant depiction , it does scream , it cries out blues and yellows swirl in a maze of defeat a crescent moon suspended in a blissful evening , hangs lone in agony I rest within this small town of hope my eyes are saddened , my mind relentless in delight You are mine , my asylum , my starry night a dimension of light under this wrenching canopy of demise oh Vincent... __________________________

The moan of oh Vincent... I love to write about a painting that touches me and Van Gogh is one of the greats! Congrats, Rick! I don't know if you've watched the Dr. Who episode on Van Gogh but I loved that one. Blessings my friend!
