The micro view below shows a night sky with stars and moon brightly lit. The swirling brush strokes, which convey energy and movement, are used by the artist and have become his signature style. His use of blues and yellows are also common in many of his paintings.  Thanks to all those who participated in this weeks Micro Mystery.

“For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”

Vincent Van Gogh

Instead of writing facts about Van Gogh I found this 5 min video of his work and excerpts of his writing. I found it both inspiring and beautiful to watch.
