painted on the final day of this year's Face and Body Art International Convention, Sunday, May 27 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

painted with Kryolan Aquacolors

With the Sunday session open to the public it seemed right to do something really Pop while demonstrating Kryolan’s Aquacolors at their booth. Starry Night is so instantly recognizable that even folks unfamiliar with bodypainting would recognize it as “art” — and it is also very enjoyable (and inspiring) to spend a few hours learning from a masterpiece like this through imitation. I learn a lot while trying to copy a master, including a profound respect for just how brilliant Van Gogh’s vision was.
