 Picture #3

         The Starry Night byVan Gogh

This Painted was made in June 1889,

 Van Gogh was born 30 March 1853 and died 29 July 1890.

Starry Night is a painting by the impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh. It portray the vision of outside through hishospital room window located in southern France at night, even though it was painted from memory during the day. The paint is Van Gogh's most well-known works and marks a decisive turn towards greater imaginative freedom in his art.Van Gogh spent his early years working for a firm of art dealers, even those his father wanted him to be working in a family business. But that wasn't the job that VanGogh wanted to do. He wanted to be painter to express himself.

The meaning of this picture in my interpretation is of someone standing on a mountain or tall building looking down at the town at night with the moon and the stars out.  The swirl is the earth moving and the wind blowing a night breeze.
