__**THE STARRY NIGHT**__

The starry night, a painting which portrays a sky at night, fullfilt with stars over a village. It was made by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh in 1889 and now it belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The artist of the painting mostly used dark blue color for the sky,the village,the mountain and a little bit on the trees, showing us the sence of a dark night lightened by stars,which are depicted with a yellow color and have a geometric shape (circle). The way that artist used his paints, shows us that its texture is surely rough. We can see from the top of the painting the sky in a dark blue color and the stars with yellow which are ending in the middle of the picture, where the horizontal line (made by mountains and the sky) is portrayed by a black bent line. In the lower right-hand corner of the painting occurs a village with lots of houses with geometric and mostly organic shapes also with dark blue color. In the foreground starts a huge tree and ends almost in the upper left-hand corner,a tree with an organic shape and colorfulled with dark green and blue color. The all painting with his dark color and bent lines give us the sense of a peacfull nature and a sky which moves in harmony.
