The Starry Night by Van Gosh

The Starry Night

by Van Gosh 

Wondering what sort of painting this is and how it became a popular one? This is a popular painting of a night view out of a window from a child's eyes, with the moon and the stars mixing up with the clouds plus the over view of the village.

This was also well known in the 17th century, where the people believed it to be a revelation of the beginning of the end.

In between, a child sees the stars in a different way from an adult, bringing it down to the physical things we do, how we see or envision things varies, to some situation can be ugly, to another fair and yet to another beautiful. This is to say, what we see or how we see ourselves in our minds, would definitely be who we portray.

I encourage you to think beautifully and let your life emulate your inner beauty..

Check Out Amazing pencil Art Works From Basket Mouth's Brother Godwin Onyekachi Okpocha

Arts runs in the blood of the Okpochas, Meet Bright Okpocha's (Basketmouth) brother who is an Artist

Godwin Onyekachi Okpocha is an unpronounced artistic genius, a father of two based overseas and the elder bother to Nigeria popular comedian “Basket Mouth”. His unique designs can be classified from digital graphics, masterpiece sketching and illustrator smoothening. (See his works after the cut)

Surfing the net as usual, I came across this story about Basket Mouth's brother, who happens to be an artist, (another Kelvin Okafor). Getting his instagram ID, I checked him out @godwin4577, where he featured a friend of his:

"HOW MANY OF THESE GREAT ICON CAN YOU NAME?

''This week art feature goes to my brother, my best friend and best man at my wedding, my confidant, my undercover nerd partner, my art critic and advicer, amongst others...@dmakun @dmakun @dmakun. We went to the same secondary school, there we formed two comicbook universe DBG (DOTUN, BRIGHT, GODWIN) and later on SATURN COMICS, along side MY younger brother @basketmouth (yes he's an artist too), we created characters, made full comic books with these characters, from the storyline, pencilling, inking, colouring and lettering. We had such big dreams and this was back in 1989, @ahmaduusman was there. We later went to the same university where he went ahead and studied Fine and applied Art while I and my bro got lost in Sociology. We've been friends since the day we met (story that touches the heart) He's about the best painter I know on ground and these are his work. Oil on canvas. He doesn't display his work on his Instagram page unfortunately so I'm officially his manager, if y'all want a painting done professionally contact me and I'll contact him (by force manager). #art #arts #artist #artists #draw #drawing #drawings #painter #painting #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #fallenheroes #westafricanart #Africanartist #Africanartists #blackandwhite #whiteandblack #greyscale''
