I painted this a long time ago over my desk back home using watercolors. It’s supposed to be van Gogh’s Wheatfield under a cloudy sky but then I threw in the tree from Starry Night to make it look more van Gogh-ish I guess? but anyway, I love van Gogh. I think he’s a genius. I don’t like watercolors though, I’m more into oil painting. I guess I wanted something to wash off easier in case I wanted to clean it up later on.
