Description But I could have told you, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

I'm here, Danny. Here's my paw and here's my heart. I'm here.

Colors changing hues
Morning fields of amber grey
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity;
How you tried to set them free--
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now...

For they could not love you, but still your love was true.

They would not listen, they're not listening still;
Perhaps they never will.

(from Don MacLean's Starry, Starry Night. Danny Phantom is the friend of the brave Mr. Butch Hartman, who has admirers here that are still grateful for the story he's shared. All elements of the painting Starry Night are the intellectual property of Vincent Van Gogh, who had the right idea, I think sometimes.)

I'm glad you like it. I like Van Gogh. Danny needs a safe place, and those shrink every day.

I'm glad it made you smile. I've been spoiling to do this piece.

I love Van Gogh too. I think I'd have liked to sit on hillsides with him.

Me too, who knows what beautiful things could've said. An artist's mind can be so inspiring, i would've loved to hear what he tohught about he world.

some eyars ago, Iw as your typical teenager with the worst self-steem ever that never smiled and such. mom got worried and took me to a friend of hers that was a psychiatrist, and mom told him id rew and stuff like that... and s wear i would've wanted to record the talk, but I dor emember him saying smoething along the lines of "It's the artists and gifted who are right... They see the world in it's real essence, from an entirely different perspective the rest of us can't even ponder on. Consider yourself blessed Fer, yoou're one of them, and I'm envious of you, because of your ability to see the world in that perspective... You're right, the rest of us are wrong in our perceptions"

or something... it was really inspiring, amde me feel tons better.

What a lovely thing to tell you. Always remember that.

When I was about...*thinks* eighteen or so, my mama thought I should go see a therapist. I fought hammer and tongs not to go, but then I did. I sat pouting. I remember I was wearing one of my A New Found Glory shirts. "Some girls are crazy", is what it says, I think.

She said, "So. Star. What's up?"

And suddenly I was off. I just bitched and railed and explained things and expounded and ran theories up and down for an hour. I didn't tell her that my mama had made me go there, but I did talk about how everyone's eyes always seemed to rest so unkindly on me when I gave vent to my feelings. It was this therapist's job to listen to me vent my feelings, I said, so much the worse for her.

Then our time was up. "Now what?" I said rudely. "What the hell were you supposed to get out of that? That didn't tell you a goddamned thing."

She asked me to come back next week. When I touched the doorknob, she said, "Star."

I turned around, and then she said, "I don't think you're crazy. And you can tell your mother I said that."

I don't think I'll ever forget it; I don't know how she knew but I felt tons better after that.

Many people distrust them, but thanks goodness for psychiatrists. that one visit made life easier for me since then. They might label them as people who end toc razy people, but nah, they only know what's on your mind and they can help you a lot

Dar Williams says "And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think--that it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink, but oh how I loved everybody else when I finally got to talk so much about myself."

o_______o As soon as I saw the title, that was IMMEDIATELY what came to mind....except my mental version is Josh Groban singing it.

I didn't know Josh Groban covered it. Don McLean's got a special place in the snowy mountains of my memory. *^_^*

I like McLean a lot. But Josh Groban is my opera obsession.

I think it's on his first or second CD.

yay vincent!
it's useless. saddness lasts a life time.
did you know vincent was born a year and a day after his parents gave birth to a still born boy with the same name?

Firestar9mm In reply to dragonmrcry [2007-06-24 06:31:17 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know that.

Sadness is like anything else in life and has no more or no less power for being so.

Very cool.

(I was wondering when you were going to submit a DP pic...)

*growls softly.* Yeah, I'll bet a lot of people have been wondering that, but just because I've been doing other things doesn't mean I'm going to not submit any more DP art. I'm not so two-dimensional that I'd forget something I loved the minute it wasn't right in front of me.

Obviously I knew you wouldn't have forgotten about the show, you love it, and you were just doing some art with your other shows. You're still doing DP stuff and you'll keep on doing it for awhile.

Hmm, all that fanart you find of Danny gazing longingly at the night sky, and no one ever thought to do something like this. It looks good.

Interesting anecdote: I know someone through our church who has a paint-your-own-pottery store. I've been there a few times when I was in Girl Scouts as just a sort of fun side trip (although we did earn some badges from that, I think, knowing all the troop leaders I've had ). Well, she was also at another (incidentally, Girl Scout-related) event about a year ago, one about women who run their own businesses. She brought a vase she'd painted to replicate the Van Gogh piece. It was a lovely vase, I wouldn't have minded one like that. And now I can't help but be reminded of that, looking at this. It is pretty. And an interesting contrast; one half is this lovely, mystical, heavenly display; the other rather mundane, just a boy looking out his window. Not to mention that the painting Starry Night, being a painting, would be much more complex than Danny there, being a cartoon character. Yes, it's a very interesting contrast indeed...

(And it's also late, so I'm probably looking too much into this or something. xP)

I'm glad you like it. I was inspired by a conversation with a friend, and it kept circling in my head, demanding to be bled out.

I love to think about Van Gogh; I can only imagine what he saw when he closed his eyes. Some say he cut off his ear for love; others say it was to stop the auditory hallucinations caused by his schizophrenia. S.E. Hinton told us, "Having an acute perception doesn't make you crazy. However, sometimes it drives you crazy." Van Gogh must have been someone to sit on a hill with, wine warming your insides and not sure if you even needed to talk about anything at all.

That vase sounds lovely. I wouldn't mind having one like that myself!
