I tried to mimic Van Gogh’s paint strokes, and then I quit, so I just did something that was more painterly, lol. Hope it works. Happy Saturday, everyone.
Yeah. I never liked that people dismissed him based on his mental health. The man lived a hard life, and he was extremely unhappy. He really only loved painting and his brother. I was so happy that I was able to create an in universe explanation for his troubled psyche. He was an amazing artist, and he deserves to be respected.
That's actually my favorite episode of Doc Who. When I want to introduce people to the show, I make them cry with that episode. I love what they did with him. He was a unique soul, and he saw the world like no one else before him nor after him.
Van Gogh was definitely a great artist, but it's also very understandable that Naomi's parents don't want her to mentally end up in "cutting off one's own ear" territory...
Don't be unsure! When I saw the thumbnail of it on some other site I assumed it was like...copy and pasted off the internet LOL! So reading that you rendered this by hand...I'm super impressed!
