Van Gogh

I wish I had the courage to paint like Van Gogh.
Short brush strokes all combined to create a splendid image.
The way he depicts stars makes my soul sing.
And trees that seem as much a part of the background as the foreground.
The lonely village with a chapel in a Starry Night was not the view outside
Van Gogh's room at the asylum.
No, it was from memories of his Dutch childhood.
This makes it an unusual addition to the painter's portfolio.
But it's by far my favorite.
And his most popular.
I could stare at it for hours on end.
