Oh Starry Night...

   This was an old canvas that I painted awhile back…... I didn't like the way it turned out, so I decided to paint over it.    :)
                                                                All white….
                                               Now lets add some blue...
                                               Long strokes……………….
                                                TADA! The perfect backdrop….
                                                 Lets make a rough draft...
                                  And now, lets paint with some dark blue, and make stars!!!
                                          Don't forget the swirls.   :)
                                              Add blue to the bottom….
                                                      And black...
                                       Now add some yellow to the stars…And swirlies. :)
                 Now add some depth to the bottom with black and gray...
                     Add some black to the outer edge of the stars...
                                        And the swirlies….
                       You can make anything that is already black, blacker.   :)
       Now lets start on the bottom portion… lets add some "houses"...

                                            And some "mountains"….
                                    Now lets add some "color" to the houses…..
            Now add some light green to the top of the bottom half...
                                                         Beautiful….
                                       Now add white all around the stars...

 Put an orange moon in the big star on the top right, then add some blue around it….
                    Don't forget to add some blue to the stars too.    :)
                                              NOW YOU'RE…………. DONE!!!!
                               How does it compare to the original???
