Van Gogh's Starry Night is a work of Art Therapy. I like to imagine what an artist is thinking about when painting.
I feel like I am disappearing, one painting at a time, I'm drawing on empty, too many paths and detours, followed and unfollowed, my world is getting smaller, an agitation blowing through me, like a cruel wind, between the rapture of my brush and the dread of being misunderstood, between groans and grunts, and a thicket of lingering passions, hand-picked, polished and packed for delivery at my door by unseen hands, these things I do not profess to understand, my life is pieced together laborously with terror and mercy.

YOU KNOW I HAVE SEEN THIS PAINTING MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT NEVER REALLY ASSOCIATED IT WITH 'TERROR'. THO THERE IS SOMETHING A LITTLE EERIE ABOUT THE BROWN FOILAGE IN THE FOREGROUND...STILL I JUST ASSOCIATED IT WITH HIS PERSONALITY AND MENTAL PROBLEMS AND THE HEAVENS HIS WAY OF SAYING, LIGHT OUTSHINES THE DARKNESS THAT HE FELT IN HIMSELF. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE MEDICATION AND SUCH...BUT IN ANY CASE....A MASTERPIECE! THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS.

True, Van Gogh did much of his best work when he was in the sanitarium. It is said that when he imbibed absinthe, he began to see vivid yellows, and that is why his paintings have a vast amount of yellow pigment upon his canvasses...terror when he cut off his ear, supposedly over a woman...on the other side of his genius, he hired boys to bring him birds nests to paint...Terror and Mercy illustrates these emotions, Joyce...

Love,
Sage

Then again...I will have no mercy when it comes to deal with terror.
Man shouldn't paint himself into a corner, not let his brushes to dictate which colors.
