5. STARRY NIGHTS Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey… Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land… Lines from “Vincent” by Don Mclean Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze…. http://www.americanpie.com/extracts/vincent.ram

6. STARRY NIGHTS In point of fact I was interrupted these days by my toiling on a new picture representing the outside of a night cafe. On the terrace there are tiny figures of people drinking. An enormous yellow lantern sheds its light on the terrace, the house and the sidewalk, and even causes a certain brightness on the pavement of the street, which takes a pinkish violet tone. The gable-topped fronts of the houses in a street stretching away under a blue sky spangled with stars are dark blue or violet and there is a green tree. Here you have a night picture without any black in it, done with nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green, and in these surroundings the lighted square acquires a pale sulphur and greenish citron- yellow colour. It amuses me enormously to paint the night right on the spot. They used to draw and paint the picture in the daytime after the rough sketch. But I find satisfaction in painting things immediately -Vincent VanGogh, 1888
