Masterpiece Interpretation

     My masterpiece interpretation is based off of Starry Night by Van Gogh. I changed and added many objects, as I took an Alice in Wonderland take on it. The once crescent moon is in a pocket watch missing all its numbers. The numbers are spread all through out the painting. The wind like swirls carry the Queen of Hearts soldiers. A top the cypress trees lies the mad hatters hat; the white rabbit is hidden in the bushes by the village on his way to his rabbit hole.

     I used both principles and elements. Balance is demonstrated in this painting, with movement on both sides. I attempted to display texture with multiple brush strokes using the same color in different shades. Color is my most used element. I used a wide variety of colors and shades, using multiple or a different color in every brush stroke.

     Van Gogh's art style was Impressionism; I attempted to keep this style while my mind interpreted his painting. I themed Van Gogh's, Starry Night, to fit the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland. I took the white rabbits pocket watch and made it the moon but, I took out the numbers. The watch numbers are hidden in the stars in the sky, this is to show that the white rabbit has no sense of time because he's always late. The white swirls in the sky in Van Gogh's painting, I think of as wind. I placed the Queen of hearts card soldiers in the swirling wind to show that they are watching over all of the Queens palace, or village, in Van Gogh's painting. The white rabbit is on his way to his hole that leads back to wonderland, Alice is nowhere to be seen.

     Personally, I love how I interpreted this piece. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite Disney movies and I feel it fit Van Gogh's mysteriousness well. I took my time on this painting and would not change anything about it.
