Starry Night

"Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh.
This piece of artwork is one of my favorites. I love the movement the brush strokes, colors, and shapes play in the sky. The swirling clouds and bursts of stars keep my eyes moving around the painting, examining every detail. The small town beneath the sky creates a mystery and makes me think about what this town holds. My eyes automatically go to the large, creepy, tall object in black. It is bold and beautiful. The dark, flowing lines add a bold statement next to the colorful swirling sky. This painting makes me stop and look at every detail. It was so beautifully created.
