Go, Van Gogh!

     Vincent Van gogh is a very famous painter. Vincent lived in Holland Two of his paintings that I really like are starry Night (below) and a Vase Full of 12 Sunflowers. Vincent's most popular painting is Starry Night.

     Vincent paints with a lot of texture. His style of painting is called Post Impresonist. That means he uses bright colors and distinctive brush strokes He painted a lot of self portraits.

  1. Van Gogh is a very interesting painter! Seems like I remember reading that he spent all his money on tubes of paint. That's how his painting have so much texture. I'll bet they took a long time to dry completely, too. BTW: Great rendition of Starry Night!
