Dancing in the rain at the “Bridge in the rain (1887)” from Van Gogh.

Van Gogh made two other paintings in the same fashion: The Courtesan (after Eisen) and Flowering Plum Tree, after another print by Hiroshige. One distinction with regard to the originals is the use of color: Van Gogh used different, brighter colors, or enhanced the color contrasts.

Some pictures were taken running the Second Life WindLight. You can see how the sky and the sea look real.

Waw!!! No lightings on the original painting!!!!

The influence of Japanese prints remains visible in Van Gogh’s later works, especially in his strong outlines and color contrasts, and in the way he cropped his compositions.

Gauguin’s chair (1888) * Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

At the end of October 1888, the painter Gaugain arrived in Arles to join Van Gogh at the Yellow House, where Vincent wanted to start his Atelier du Midi. During this period he painted Gaugains’ chair, as well as his own chair. These works are very different, like the characters of Van Gogh and Gaugain.

The Courtyard of the Hospital at Arles (1889) * Oskar Reinhart Collection 'Am Romerholz'.
This is the hospital courtyard where Vincent stayed after cutting his ear lobe.

On 23 December 1888 Van Gogh stalked Gauguin with a razor and then cut off the lower part of his own left ear lobe, which he wrapped in newspaper and gave to a prostitute named Rachel, asking her to "keep this object carefully."

My idea on this picture was to contrast the fantastic Van Gogh yellow paint with this beautiful red black gown.

I was wearing the gown from Falsetta Layered Gown –LM: Paper Couture; House of Lu, Barcola (81, 128, 25) – 400L

Brief history: Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. Van Gogh is a pioneer of what came to be known as Expressionism. He produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life. Most of his best-known works were produced in the final two years of his life.

Today the old hospital courtyard looks almost exactly like Vincent's painting of 1889.
