What is your favorite Van Gogh painting?
Yesterdays postintroduced 2 daffodil paintings and you visited YouTube
to hear that wonderful tribute in song to Vincent Van Gogh and Starry, Starry Night and to see the slide show of some of Van Gogh's paintings. Starry Night is special to me because it was my oldest son’s favorite painting when Van Gogh’s paintings were introduced into the school art curriculum in his elementary
school days.
For more information on Starry Night go to the
Van Gogh Gallery

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh has risen to the peak of artistic
achievements. Although Van Gogh sold only one painting in his life, the
aftermath of his work is enormous. Starry Night is one of the most well known
images in modern culture as well as being one of the most replicated and sought
after prints. From Don McLean's song 'Starry, Starry Night' (Based on the
Painting), to the endless number of merchandise products sporting this image,
it is nearly impossible to shy away from this amazing painting. (read more at
the Gallery)

Thanks for the kind words and for helping to spread the word that copyright protection is important. Always assume something on the Internet is copyrighted. Ask First. You might get a yes, or find out that the content isn't, but until them, assume copyright at all time.

People assume they have to pay doctors, plumbers, mechanics, and others for their services, so why are writers, artists, and photographers expected to give their work away for free? This has always puzzled me.

So thank for spreading the word.

Oh, and I blog about blogging as well as WordPress - and why you all are still on Blogger, that's another issue. :D
