Here is my submission for 13th ARTstyleART challenge. The theme for this week's contest is Action Painting + Music. So we were tasked to paint an abstract piece based on a song/music we choose.
The host, @aksinya suggested Angie by Rolling Stones but I had a better idea and I picked Don McClean's classic song, Vincent. I get emotional whenever I listen to this song. Such a beautiful tribute to a talented melancholic man. What a tragic life.
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
The song is about Vincent Van Gogh, of course.
Here are the progress photos as proof of authenticity (my original work and not stolen from the Internet).
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you

I thought to include a poem called Swirl I wrote years ago but decided not to. It's not that good.

Excellent post! I love the idea of painting the feelings that come to you through music.
I was just at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a week and a half ago. What an amazing experience!

Standing in front of his Sunflowers was such an inspiration and the self portraits were so amazing! I hope you do get to visit one day!

If I were there I would probably cry. His paintings have this intense vibes about them. Passionate and raw.

I actually did tear up a bit.
I agree with passionate and raw. It was like he feverishly was trying to get everything out of his head onto to the canvas...like it was some kind of release.

He was trying hard to be heard and accepted by the art scene but his style was vastly different from everyone else's. Constant rejections and unsold paintings, that had to do with his depression and mental deterioration. Sadly he was only appreciated after he was gone.

Really nicely done @coloringship ! I have not done painting (in this manner) ever since I left school and I am not sure that I could replicate my ability again.
So do keep up the good work! I really like that painting that actually does relates somewhat with the song you have picked.
