He said that this painting keep him from going insane. This painting was done the year before he died in 1890. This media was made with oil paints. He used thin strokes and with strong outlines. It also includes close ups. It makes me feel very calm/energetic. I feel calm because of the purple flowers in a beautiful meadow. I feel entergetic because the yellow is a bright color and it remind me of running through a beautiful meadow as a child. "The Starry Night" is the second one. This painting is the most know oil painting I think of his. If you notice in the picture he uses a lot of dark colors and he uses think and short brush stokes orderly. He was looking for the the cool colors such as green,pale yellow,brownish/blackish, and lots of lights and dark blues to make it fell calm and peaceful. Whenever I look at I feel really peaceful and safe. I feel this way because if u look at the picture the colors are very calming and the thick brush stokes give a strong feeling of happiness because the color is yellow.
