A night created
in exuberant madness
an artist undone
the talented, eccentric, angry one
mastered creation
in those swirling hues
the glorious brights
the serene blues
of a night sky askew
in ecstatic vision
this starry night
rolling barrage of blue
smell of cedar
in the crisp night air
the night bells ring
melding two places into one
in electric blended vision
under a luminescent moon
stars without bounds
gold dust soft sprinkled
oceans of light
to touch sparkling brightness
sewn like a ladder of silk thread
a symphony in the sky
pay homage to the artist
that genius of sight
oh but to go running
through that starry night…
These are gorgeous. If only I could draw such beautiful things? Are these Munch? Kind of reminiscent of those themes.
Thanks… I drew the Sunflower one courtesy of the Art Sherpa on YouTube. ..and I truly can’t draw. ..kinda butchered it..ha ha. The other is a copy of VG courtesy of Pixabay 🙂
Oh, I see! So nothing quite so fancy. Shows what I know about art!!
I don’t know much it either 🙂
Oh good. Misery loves company…and so does stupidity apparently, ha, ha! Did I just give you a backhanded insult?
Nope, ha ha..didn’t take it that way…probably only real artists know these things 🙂
Whew!
this is lovely poetry and stunning art!
Thank you so much. I have always loved this painting, and the other day, I was in the library for awhile so I read a bit about the artist. I tried to write a description of how I saw the painting…1st attempt 🙂
Great job !
A wonderful poem to a wonderful painting by Van Gogh. I recently saw the real thing again and never fail to be awed by its beauty and power. Well done!
Oh wow, I would love to see the real one. It must be something! Thanks for the compliment.
It was amazing to see it but not only that, in a glass case they had a postcard size black pen sketch that Van Gogh completed first whilst out at night. My son particularly was fascinated by this, it was exquisite and so perfect in detail. He worked from this little sketch to complete the actual painting.
That sounds really neat…maybe I’ll get the chance to see it someday 🙂
Love it L.T. …
Thank you so much..I’ve always adored this painting 🙂
Great poem on a beautiful subject. He may have been mad, but his bold art was mesmerizing.
I agree…One hundred percent. Thank you 🙂
I had 5 and 6 foot sunflowers I painted on the end wall of my laundry room. I made them in a trio. They weren’t as lovely and dramatic as your homage one and VG’s crazy and wild frenzied sunflower. 🙂
Sunflowers are just lovely in any form and sound fantastic in the laundry room. Thanks for the gracious compliment. This Sunflower was courtesy of The Art Sherpa and everyone can paint with this funny, talented lady on Youtube 🙂
Beautiful art work and excellent creative writing, keep up the great work.
Thank you!
