Ok, fine that's a lie. To be honest, I've had The Beatles in my music library for years, so really the ability to stream has no affect on me. But it seemed like a good lead in. The truth is, I heard the song on the radio today on our way home.... Hahahaha ok, that's probably the last reference I'll make, here's the point. I heard the song on the radio and as I was listening it made me think of the Starry Night painting. Now, I'm no Van Gogh and I have zero ability to paint in that style, but I thought of the little houses in the village, and the idea for the picture just kind of came to me. It didn't come out exactly as I hoped, but that's mostly because I used watercolor colored pencils, which I rarely use, so the lines are sort of half blended in some places and kind of harsh in others. But the idea is the same, so for that reason, I do like the final product. Without further ado, here's the picture, before and after. And yes, I listened to The Beatles while I worked on it.
