In Search of Van Gogh, yes, is from that same old folder I've been working in. I posted a couple other versions of this tree here not too long ago. But as happens with many pix something keeps calling me back to it. With respect to this version's colors, they are the result of chasing after those in Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Even the "motion" in this version weakly echos that painting's. I'm not saying I sat down with the intent of imitating that famous painting. But as I worked on the photo something about it began to raise strong memories of "Starry Night." I even googled to see if my memory was at all accurate. Well, yes and no. It depends on which scanning of the painting's colors one believes. Each one of the gazillions on line was different. However, at least for me this photo echos that painting. Why this should please me, I don't know. Isn't originality the end all and be all? Maybe I should just consider it my attempt at an hommage to Van Gogh, and leave it at that.
