'Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing."

Vincent Van Gogh

"Cafe Terrace at Night" Vincent Van Gogh 1888

"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars."

~ Og Mandino ~

In a letter to his sister, Van Gogh wrote about the Cafe Terrace at Night painting saying:

"Here you have a night painting without black, with nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green and in this surrounding the illuminated area colors itself sulfur pale yellow and citron green. It amuses me enormously to paint the night right on the spot. Normally, one draws and paints the painting during the daytime after the sketch. But I like to paint the thing immediately.

It is true that in the darkness I can take a blue for a green, a blue lilac for a pink lilac, since it is hard to distinguish the quality of the tone. But it is the only way to get away from our conventional night with poor pale whitish light, while even a simple candle already provides us with the richest of yellows and oranges."

"Starry Night"





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



~ Vincent Van Gogh ~

Quote Of The Day

Quote Of The Day

"The higher up you go, the more mistakes you are allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it's considered to be your style."

Quote Of The Day

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
