UPDATED!!!

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. 


Starry Starry Night painting by 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.
