Van Gogh's Starry Night, is a painting known all over the world for it's beautiful swirling sky, and it's dark menacing feel. The lines in this painting are very short and choppy in some places like on the rooftops to the village houses, but smooth and flowing in others, like in the sky. Can you see the beautiful strokes of the brush, as Van Gogh ran his hand across the canvas, the direction of his brush creating each stroke, smoothly as if he were born to paint. Which he probably ways. Van Gogh used a lot of blues, and Greens and purples in his painting, the colors known as the cool colors, and they give off a deep, almost scary feel.
I like this art work! And you are right! There are a lot of cool colors and think/choppy lines used! This does give an eerie and mysterious feeling when I see this though! :P
