Enraptured by the mystic starry sky br Vincent so desperately wanted to try, br To paint this enchanting twilight scene, br But how, Colours in that light couldn’t be seen. br br He longed to paint on the spot at night, br What he saw, as he saw without artificial light. br ‘Night is more richly coloured than day br Putting little white dots on a black surface, no way' br br Struck by brilliance of stars on closer attention br And his zest and lust and passion for perfection, br A legend goes in rural areas of south of France, br He put candles in the felt hat to capture and paint. br br Thus the locals gave him a name, illumine br French word meaning lit up and delusive. br Couldn’t care less, night to be painted on the spot br Settled for a gas jet after pondering a lot br br The painting depicts a religious motif of youth. br To assuage his thirst for the Absolute br ‘I just paint nature as it seems to me, complete br All we have to do is unravel the mystery…’ br br br br A tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, Impressionist painter, best known for Sun Flowers. br Starry Night is a fascinating work, as is his passion.
