Mixed Media Monday - Blue and Brown - Starry Night



This is a combination of digital painting (in ArtRage software) and a old city skyline by Christina Renee. The picture was, of course, inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night. Everything is greatly altered and I used a final "impressionist" filter to achieve the grainy result.

    I can see Van Gogh in the swirling clouds and the hazy moon. I love the impressionist effect and the cityscape. Great work.

    This blows me away Marie, I would never in a million years have been able to extract anything so beautiful from a theme of blue and brown. Kudos and loud applause.

    I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement

    Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
