    • World In Perspective
    • Starry Night by Van Gogh (also a jigsaw puzzle )

      I would have to say, If I had to choose one, my favorite work of art is the painting "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh. It is a rather popular painting in general i believe, quite well known. What really strikes my fancy though is the perspective in which he painted it in. Most paintings I have observed have the sky in equal proportion to the land, if not slightly less so, in "Starry Night" the small city is vastly dwarfed by the swirling heavens above it. It gives one pause, to think how small and truly insignificant we all are in this universe. It is an odd comfort to me to know I am but an infinitesimal part in the grand scheme of things.
