Description
This is a gift art work for Jaime, who is my 'adopted' niece
She recently had a beautiful baby boy who is named 'Vincent' after his father. The Starry Night by Van Gogh is one of her favorite paintings and one of mine as well. I thought it was fitting to do an painting for little Vincent that was a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh's most famous painting.
Jaime, I hope you love it! I wish little Vincent all the starry wishes of the sky!
This was a real stretch of style for me. The whole thing is painted with my Wacom in Photoshop. I have a whole new admiration for Van Gogh's style. I felt challenged and a bit uncomfortable with it at first, but in the end found it quite 'freeing'.
Thank you for looking!!

Thank you so very much for your lovely critique!
I cannot take credit for all of it, as it was inspired by Van Gogh's original, but I am happy that you enjoyed my interpretation so very much!

Don't know the first thing about art, except that I know what I like, and this I like a lot. And it speaks deeply to my melancholic side, this piece of work with such love and sweetness, to a man with a life and mind like his.
This I think is a great tribute.

Wow, impressive! What a beautiful twist from the original. truly magical! I love the tree and the boy with its bear. The only thing is that I'd put the sky a little darker, but it's awesome as it is.
Side note: In the original, what appears is a tree, right? Just wondering, because it looks like a hauted castle to me.
