Olive Grove

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
I love this painting by Vincent Van Gogh. He painted it while he was in the asylum, he would look out his room window and there were olive groves outside. It was the only decent picture worth painting. The situation kind of reminds me of my life. I feel trapped where I am now and I need to be free. Free from rules, standards and snotty people. ANYWHO that painting above looks pretty good, eh? I painted it. It's a mini-masterpiece. I recreated a masterpiece, and it's only about the size of your hand span. It was really difficult. Especially to do Van Gogh peice, he has so many different, invidual strokes. That little painting took me three weeks. It paid off though, it's looks like the real one. A tiny one of course....
