They said I was out of my mind, but I knew myself that it was not true, for the very reason that I felt my own disease deep within me, and tried to remedy it. I exhausted myself with hopeless, unsuccessful efforts, it is true, but because of that fixed idea of reaching a normal point of view again, I never mistook my own desperate doings, worryings and drudgings for my real innermost self. At least I always felt, “Just let me do something, be somewhere, and it must redress itself. I will rise above it, let me keep hold of patience to redress things.”

 

:cry:

I did a recreation of that painting...starry night. it was pretty damn good. but i didn't use the right paint...or whatever....

I've never done an oil painting. I've worked with other mediums, but never took an oil painting class. That's on my 'to do' list.
