Copying Van Gogh

My version of Van Gogh's The Cornfield and Cypress Trees. Modified a lot here - strokes, even some shapes. I've always looked up to Van Gogh, a once known to be "lesser painter". He surely has style in capturing what are painful, sad, and meaningless. He, too, suffered from depression a lot.



Oil on canvas. Textured, impasto.

Duration: 2 hours.

  1. oh accidents are awesome!

    we are all in a quest for purpose, for what is beyond the material,
    it is only when we choose to listen to what nature declares that we begin to understand Him who is higher

    ty for sharing this private space, what a pleasure to the eyes
