Wonderful book review
During my years of study at the Chinese Academy of Oil Painting, my creative style has been greatly influenced by Van Gogh's works. I love the passionate colors, naive brushstrokes and creative content of his paintings, which are unique in Van Gogh's life and today.

I have read many books and picture albums about Van Gogh, and I remember reading a book called "Van Gogh Manuscripts", which contains Van Gogh's letters to his brother. If you refine the central ideas of these letters, they are roughly: "My dear brother, let me show you my brother's work now, I am painting very well now (Van Gogh is such a narcissist), the only problem is that I have no money recently, can not afford to buy canvas and brush (this is what Van Gogh wanted to say to his brother)..." Thanks to the support of his brother, Van Gogh was able to display his artistic talent. Every time I think about this, I will sigh that an artist's success really needs someone's selfless support. Van Gogh was undoubtedly lucky to have a brother who loved him so much.

I have copied many van Gogh paintings, such as his sunflowers, his starry sky. One day, I suddenly felt that the blooming sunflowers in Van Gogh's paintings looked like bright stars in the starry sky he painted from a distance.

I want to paint a sunflower chasing the sun. A small flower, with a dream of chasing light, although it is not so dazzling as the sun, but enough to become a star to light up the night sky.

Little children, like little sunflowers, chase little joy, lighting up the world of mom and dad.

And little me, little you, and our little dream...

Suddenly, an old song sounded in my ear: "The stars light the lamp, light up my door, let the lost child, find the way to come..."
