I updated my blog.. Finally..! After years of BORING
backgrounds, I came up with Starry Starry Night painting by the very famous (my
favourite artist) Vincent Van Gogh. I like him so much that I thought, maybe in
putting one of his famous artwork; Starry Starry Night; as a background for my
blog could be cool, at least for me. He was such a unique
artist that I thought, "How come people during his days hated him and after he
died, they appreciated his artwork? If only he survived ten years more after his
death, he would have very famous, rich and popular and his passion for arts are
not worth of just words to describe. It's almost as if for him, arts were one of
his basic needs. I never think he was crazy, I think he was just supremely
depressed because he loved arts (painting) so much but he only sold one out of
hundreds of paintings he did during his lifetime. People don't understand,
technically speaking, didn't understand the passion Vincent Van Gogh
had.

Vincent Van Gogh
Just to correct y'all that
thought Van Gogh cut his ear, well the truth is that he cut his earlobe, part of
it; that happened when he was trying to stop one of his colleague to leave
somewhere, I can't recall and threatened him with an open razor. Van Gogh's
frend tried to stop him and Van Gogh accidentally cut his earlobe. He wasn't
crazy. His vision was filled with yellow spots, meaning when he saw something,
there's this yellow spots in his vision unlike normal people seeing the exact
view of a place. That was what contributes to his painting where there's a lot
of yellow colours. Personally, Van Gogh is one of the greatest painter in the
world, this proven by his brush stroke methods. It is proven until now, 2012,
that Van Gogh is/ was (I'm not sure which. English i neither my first/second
language) the only person who can do such a brush stroke method. This can be
seen in Starry Starry Night painting.
