"A Starry Night" came off the easel in our studio this morning.
The sky takes the longest. Van Gogh's swirls cannot be painted slowly, they have to move in one breath to keep that rhythm, but oil needs to dry between layers, so most of the work is waiting. Paint for a session, wait a few days, come back and build the thickness up again.
We know it is finished when we tilt the canvas into the light and see each swirl casting its own small shadow.
This one was painted to the measurements of a customer's wall. Today it goes into a rigid tube and starts the trip to their home.
